The author develops a style he qualifies as minimalist; little or no set or props, the essential is in capturing an emotion in the model’s posture or gaze. He seeks to strip the scene so that the sign (punctum) is perceived and guides the reader toward the meaning the reader will attribute to the photo. The photograph is not a story or a pre-established meaning to be seen. The photograph does not tell a story, does not advocate, does not deliver a message, does not impose a point of view. The photograph is a gift that allows the reader to tell their own story, to engage, and to read their own message. The work of light is crucial for him as is the rapport with the model. In this minimalist vein, since 2015 he has begun a continuous, non-exclusive collaboration with a single model.
