I discovered numerical photography in 2004. It offered me a new direction for aesthetic exploration, while conserving analytical and pedagogical methods. Exploiting the specific relation between the web and photography, I built a web site around Parisian night life ; a representation of an irrational world based on my rational methods.
I photograph as if I were making a film, then assemble the instants that permit me to tell a story in a single fixed image. This creates a new world halfway between reality and fantasy, playing with time and space to produce a fiction out of fragments of reality.
This procedure -a parallel to electronic musical composition using sampling- has an exciting potential which led me to full-time photography. My personal work has a surprising adaptability to commercial applications.
