I create images that no longer exist.

 

Not because they belong to another era, but because they have become impossible to achieve. AI produces standardised bodies. Censorship filters concepts. Pornography shapes the gaze as a mechanism for immediate consumption.

 

I choose to photograph humans — their real presence, their unpredictable angles, their unoptimised gestures, their silences.

I work in a territory that has become rare: one where skin still exists, where intimacy is not scripted, where the gaze is not used to generate clicks, but to create an exchange.

 

My photos then cease to be ‘nudes’. They become pre-censorship human artefacts, images from a world where creative freedom was not filtered by algorithms, and where the nude was not a commodity but a centrepiece in the hall of a great museum.

 

Over time, YesPhotographies has become:

​

• a place of artistic resistance,

• a living archive,

• a space where you can learn to look, to pass on to you the lessons I have learned from photographing women.

 

My career path has not been linear: photographer, symbolic therapist, consultant, workshop leader, failed sculptor and stubborn sculptor of light. What connects everything is human encounter: that moment when someone sees themselves differently, when an image gives them back a part of themselves that they thought was lost.

 

I mainly photograph women because their mystery calls to me. I have never stopped wanting to shed light on what, in them, defies categorisation: the nuances, the plurality, the contradictions, the strengths, the paradoxes. I may come from a different generation, but I still have the same awareness: it is an absolute honour to see a woman naked in front of my lens. A responsibility, even. A kind of ethics of the gaze.

 

Faced with industrialised pornography — where the body becomes a product — I try to offer something else: a space where we can relearn how to look. Not to idealise, but to deindustrialise the gaze, to restore relief, to give the body back its singularity and the image its share of the unknown.

 

Each session is a co-creation. The model is an artist. The light decides. I frame what is invented.

 

A library of life

 

These galleries are not there to seduce, but to bear witness: to bear witness to an art that is still human, a gesture that is still physical, a connection that is still real. I have accumulated more than 26,000 images in 14 years. Not to produce, but to understand. And today, I am sharing them here: like a great living library of images that cannot be reproduced other than in reality.

 

If you would like to explore, create or open up new territory together, I invite you to come in.

 

And if you want a portrait, an experience or an idea and want to step in front of the camera, contact me: reality remains the most beautiful tool I have.
