Photography as an act of listening and sharing
Former dancer, I spent nearly two decades on stage before stepping behind the camera.
That experience defines how I see, how I listen, and how I photograph dance.
I don’t approach movement as an observer, but as someone who knows its weight, its risk, and its silence. Every image begins with understanding — of the body, the intention, and the moment just before it disappears
Having trained as a dancer, I learned and performed works by many of the world’s most influential choreographers, and had the precious opportunity to work in person with a few of them, like Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, John Neumeier, and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui — experiencing their artistry up close.
This experience has given me the ability to move fluently between styles from classical to neo-classical to contemporary dance.
In 2011, building on my experience as a dancer, working with the Prix de Lausanne became a gateway to collaborations with major ballet companies. Beyond that, my professional network, developed during my years on stage, opened doors to contemporary ensembles, festivals, and institutions in Switzerland and internationally. Across all these experiences, what matters most is a shared respect for dance as a living, demanding art form — and the responsibility to translate it honestly into images.

Style
My photographic voice lies in proximity to movement: understanding the dancers’ dynamics, their weight, their timing, and the intelligence of their bodies. I seek fleeting moments — transitions, suspensions, or subtle shifts off balance — that exist only briefly and often escape perception.

Composition
Composition is at the heart of my work. I play with what’s near and what’s far, with light and shadow, and with focus and blur to create layers, textures, and depth within the image.

Consistency
I work closely with choreographers, companies, and institutions, building long-term collaborations grounded in trust and mutual respect. I strive to honor the integrity of their work and to serve the life of each piece through my images. Drawing on my experience as a dancer, I aim to convey the passion and love of movement that first drew me to dance.
I was born in Geneva in 1971 and trained in visual arts at the Collège de Genève, alongside an intensive dance education at the École de Danse de Genève.
From 1991 to 2010, I was a dancer with the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, performing internationally and working with over fifty choreographers across styles and generations.
In 2010, I stepped away from the stage to dedicate myself to dance photography.
Today, I work with leading ballet companies, contemporary dance institutions, junior companies, and schools, as well as on personal studio projects. I also photograph dancers for professional portfolios, where I draw on my experience as a dancer to guide them beyond the pose and bring out their best.
Photography, for me, is not about freezing movement.
It’s about staying close to its intention.
