To all of you who inspired and keep inspiring me wherever and whenever you are.

Look with my eyes, doors to my mind, and feel my heart.. S.

Lille - Paris November 2011 - February 2012

Roland, my favorite photographer. He took so many pictures of me as a kid, he made me feel like a star. This is how I became familiar with the camera, wishing to capture colours, lines, shapes, smiles, attitudes, life!

Love these moments when something appeals to my eyes and I manage to cacth it as it is, without the model paying attention to me.

London July 2012

Stairs at the LSE library: lines and curves, lines and curves on my mind.

Back in London for a summer course, I play with this city I know so well and make my first autoportraits.
