About the photographer

I am an underwater artist photographer and high-level athlete, French-Swiss. Six-time French Champion of underwater pool photography, 7th at the World Championship at sea, vice-French Champion at sea, several special awards (creativity, mood…), 3 bronze medals.

I now aspire to put my expertise, creative ideas and resourcefulness in underwater photos and videos to good use.

A project? A one-off need for a different underwater eye? Another perspective? Let's talk:

What I bring to your projects

  • The expertise to reveal what others cannot see.
  • Creativity and ideas when facing dilemmas. My eye was forged in competition. Today, it brings a new perspective to your underwater photo and video shoots.

Two ways to collaborate on an occasional basis

  • Bringing my creativity by taking part in national and international projects within a team.
  • Bringing my eye to photo/video scouting: identifying underwater shooting locations or suggesting suitable spots.

National FFESSM and FSSS competitions and international CMAS competitions in underwater photography are both sporting and artistic. I was the first woman to represent France and then Switzerland at the World Championships. In competition, no retouching or cropping: I now bring that same exacting standard to your underwater projects, with creativity and a resolutely feminine eye. In short, giving free rein to my imagination, with or without a set theme.

Based in Paris, with a second home in Antibes — available for shoots at sea or in pools anywhere in the world.
