Series

August 2025. Zakopane. Between Poland and Hungary, the Tatra mountains erect a granite barrier. This series documents a parenthesis of effort and contemplation. Far from urban agitation, the Rollei 35 accompanied every step of this duo ascent. The choice of Kodak Gold film is not insignificant: it bathes these austere landscapes in warm and familiar light, giving hiking memories a timeless patina. Here, rock, lakes, and valleys are not just settings, but silent witnesses of a march towards the summits.

August 2024. Puglia. This is not a simple family road trip, it is a cinematic interlude under the crushing sun of Southern Italy. To capture this raw "Dolce Vita", the choice was obvious: CineStill 400D. A cinema film diverted from its use, capable of imbuing each image with saturated warmth and golden reflections. The inspiration is clear: to rediscover the sweaty and sensual aesthetic of Purple Noon. Between turquoise waters and scorched earth, familiar figures become fictional characters, frozen in a light that seems to exist only in the memories of the 60s.

December 2023. First steps on the American continent. New York is not discovered, it is confronted. This series documents the initial shock of Manhattan's absolute verticality. Under a grazing winter sun that cuts shadows with a scalpel, the city reveals itself in its contrasts: the mineral coldness of skyscrapers, the vegetable silence of Central Park, and the subterranean heat of the subway. The warm grain of Kodak Gold 400 captures the metropolis's raw aesthetic, frozen in icy air, between cinematic myth and concrete reality.

August 2023. A solitary wandering on the roads of Quebec, backpack on and thumb raised. This series is not a simple travelogue, it is the recording of a confrontation: that of the wild vastness against the tiny mechanics of the Rollei 35. From Montreal to the fjords of Tadoussac, through the Laurentians, the film captures the total improvisation of a road trip without an itinerary. Portra 400 reveals the harshness of the walk and the softness of the Saint Lawrence lights, painting a world where man becomes a negligible scale against nature.

January 2025. Southern Alps. Far from graphic austerity, this series is an ode to collective energy. For a weekend, the Rollei 35 captured the carelessness of an escape with friends. The technical choice is crucial here: Portra 400 film. Usually praised for its skin tone rendering, here it is diverted to sublimate the winter texture. It turns snow into icing sugar, softens sky blues and wraps landscapes in subtle warmth. "White Mounts" is the mountain experienced not as a challenge, but as a playground.

Thollon-les-Mémises, January 2024. Alpine winter reveals itself here in a purely graphic light. The goal is not to document skiing, but to capture the aesthetic of white silence. Captured on Rollei Retro 400S, the series exploits a powerful, almost charcoal-like grain that confronts the raw light of snow in a nuanceless duel. At the heart of this minimalist setting, an anachronistic-looking silhouette seems to float out of time. A study where black and white cease to be colors to become raw materials.

October 2023. Montreal filtered through LomoChrome Turquoise. In this experimental series, the film's chemistry reverses the light spectrum to reveal a parallel dimension. The laws of nature are revoked: the autumn sky ignites in an apocalyptic orange, while maple foliage freezes in supernatural bluish hues. It is no longer the city of the academic exchange, it is a science fiction metropolis, a visual hallucination where the heat of Indian summer transforms into an electric coldness.

April 2023. Paris, between the aristocracy of Île Saint-Louis and the alleys of the Marais. This inaugural series captures the essence of Gabriel, a modern dandy and soul brother, frozen in an era he fantasizes about as much as he embodies. Riding his Astor, he doesn't just cross the city, he inhabits the setting. Between studied poses and raw melancholy, this series is the silent tale of a wait: that of a lost elegance, or a meeting that may never come.
