As a “picture maker” [1], I had my first experience with silver halide, and later I was an early adopter (1983) of digital imaging. This experience led me to video, HD and movies. Nowadays, my taste orients my works to mixed techniques and exploring the limits between these domains. Meanwhile, I wrote about image technology, visual and cultural perception.
As a photographer, specialized in illustration, color-grading and matte-painting, I work with silver halide, digital imaging and video-editing. My extensive experience in these fields has been applied in the freelance work that I have done for companies such as Le Crédit Local de France, Unesco, La Caisse des Dépôts, Agfa-Europe, French Post Office, France Télécom, Pinnacle, Sun-Microsystems, General Electric, Sony-France, Creo-France, HPIndigo-Europe, Essilor… Over 30 magazines have published my work both in Europe an the USA, on the Adobe French website (twice 2000 and 2006) ....
In 2010, I was part of the team who tested Red Camera for the CST (Commission Supérieure et Technique du Cinéma), in 2009, I was part of a group working on a test to restore Jean Renoir’s short film. In 2004-2005, I was in charge of a DVD about home-cinema technology for the public. I ran HDThomson Viper camera tests (shown in Imagina and IDIFF03 exhibits) and in 2001, I produced a short film: “L’Histoire de Pierre et le Fou” by Thomas Norymberg in which I also worked on the color grading (this film was shown three times in Cannes 2002...). The same year, I was also part of the team who ran for the CST, a test of Sony’s CineAlta HD camera.
In 2001, I made a lecture about my work in “ La Maison Européenne de la Photographie ” in Paris. and I illustrated a jazz concert (projection of video and stills on a large screen).
My work was exhibited in France: Pavillon de l’Eau, Paris (2010) ; Espace Canon, Centre Pompidou, Centre National de la Photographie, Salon de la Photo 96…), in Europe (Italy, Belgium, Czeckoslovakia, Germany...). My photomontage works were exhibited in « Le Carroussel du Louvre » for the launching of Sun’s Ultra-Sparc processor, in November 1995.
Some of my work is in permanent collections of Musée du Vivant, AgroParis Tech, Paris; La Bibliothèque Nationale, l’Établissement Public du Louvre, le Musée Carnavalet- Paris; …
Due to my experience in digital imaging, I was often invited to run workshops. For example, during the SIPI (Paris Salon de la Photo, 1995), I demonstrated the Agfa StudioCam (digital camera). In 1995, I was asked to beta-test Photoshop 3.0 and in 1993 and ‘94, I ran a Photoshop workshop sponsored by Sun. I have also taught digital technologies to companies such as Ilford-France, Institut Pasteur, Agfa-France...
15 000 persons/month read my blog. I regularly wrote on digital imaging in “ Le Photographe ”, “ Sonovision ” publications. In may 2010, I published a book : “ Regard sur l’image ” about visual and cultural perception, partly illustrated with my pictures, with a foreword by Peter Knapp. In 2000, I published a technical book about digital movies, Éditions Eyrolles. In ‘98, I published a dictionary of digital photo terms.
I have participated in many conferences or teachings such as: Satis ‘11 (Paris show about video and movie) about timelapse on Adobe booth; EMI-CFD (2009); License in Art- Therapy, Paris 7’University (2011 to 2008); License Arts du Spectacles Metz’University (2006); Paris Salon de la Photo (2011, 2009, 2008); Intergraphic 2009; “ Forum Européen Regards et Vision‘04 ” (Lille European Culture Capital), “ The Doors of Perception ”, University of Albany (State of NY, ‘04), École Estienne in ‘03 (one of the most famous French graphic art school), FEMIS (France’s national film school) in ‘02, for the SATIS 97 (Film,and video show in Paris), I organized a lecture on digital creation (video and movies). During the same year, I spoke about digital photography for the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche) and participated as a speaker at the Agfa Technologies Show95, in Boston (USA). In ‘93 and ‘94, I spoke about digital photography at the Scd IS&T Color Conference and for the 46th IS&T.
Due to these experiences, in 2009, I was a member of the Prix Vulcain Jury (Cannes Film Festival), I had previously supervised two books for the CST, one about digital compression, one about movie theaters. In ‘97, I was a consultant for the creation of digital studio for a French administration, and for La FNAC (major photo resealer). In 1995, I worked with the “Réunion des Musées Nationaux ” on restoring their photographic stock and on digital photography.
