His journey into photography began at eighteen not with ambition, but with fascination.

In the silence of the darkroom, he discovered the alchemy of black and white. Developing film by hand, studying negatives under light, printing silver gelatin with patience and precision, this was where discipline was formed. Photography was not immediate. It demanded intention. It required control. It rewarded sensitivity.

He went on to study photography at the Polytechnic of Central London, where technical mastery met conceptual rigor. There, instinct became structure. Curiosity became direction. The craft acquired depth.

After graduating, he refined his vision through formative years assisting some of the most respected photographers of his generation. In London, under John Swannell, he absorbed the elegance and compositional clarity of high-end fashion photography. In Paris, alongside Patrice Verès, he entered the exacting world of still life; where texture, material, and shadow demanded absolute precision. A brief but impactful encounter with Richard Avedon exposed him to a level of intensity and visual discipline that left a lasting imprint. These years were defined by large-format cameras: Sinar, Linhof, and meticulously constructed studio lighting. Every frame was deliberate. Every highlight sculpted. Every shadow purposeful. Photography was architecture built with light.

He later opened his own studio, focusing primarily on advertising while continuing selected fashion and still life work. His images became known for their clarity, compositional strength, and refined control of light. There was no excess; only structure and presence.

Drawn toward a more fluid and narrative visual language, he relocated to Madrid, where he spent nearly a decade immersed in the editorial fashion industry. There, movement entered the frame. Atmosphere deepened. The work gained rhythm and emotional nuance while retaining its technical precision.

Returning to Geneva, he established a new studio, working across advertising and editorial commissions with growing maturity and confidence. Experience did not harden his work — it distilled it. The compositions became quieter. Stronger. More resolved.

His visual sensibility has been shaped in part by the work of Albert Watson, Paolo Roversi, and David Bailey, photographers who understand that light is not decoration but structure; not illumination but language.

Today, based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, he continues to photograph, not from obligation, but from conviction. The passion that began in a darkroom remains unchanged. What has evolved is the depth of understanding.

It began with curiosity, It became discipline, It endures as vision…
