In-depth evaluation of the properties, focusing on key aspects such as service quality, amenities, location, and overall guest experience.

Live performances

Famous or not, it's all the time a pleasure to capture the atmosphere of concerts and play with the lights, fog and artists.

From babies to teenagers

From the birth to the first graduation, remember all the steps of your child's life.

Wild or domestic

Animals are not the easiest subjects to photography, patience is more important than equipment.

Alone, with your family or with your friends

Indoor or outdoor, alone or not, in colour of in black & white, it's all the time a nice moment.

Travels

Europe and Asia

Street food, landscapes, people, cultures and religions. I all the time travel with my camera.

Flying, walking or crawling

There are so many tiny animals around us. Close-up or macro photography, discover amazing insects.

Flowers, plants, and forests

Each season brings different subjects, different lights and different colours.

Buildings, nature, people

Night brings different emotions and I like to play with lights and shadows.

Concerts

Michael Monroe, Andrea Brosio & White Cloud Fire, Anssi Kela, Jenni Vartiainen, Chisu but also Raskasta Joulua and Saara Aalto, here are the concerts I have been able to shoot. A picture doesn’t play sound but thanks to the artists but also to their technical crew, from the roadies to the light designer(s) and operator(s),…

Nature

Nature is my playground. There are so many subjects to photograph, from animals, big or tiny to flowers, plants, forests, sky, sun, clouds, in fact all what is around us and not human made. Even a dead leave is interesting to photograph. I think you need to love the nature to be able to capture…

Travels

My camera always follows me when I travel. Here are some pictures from some of my trips to Europe and Asia, which, like all places, are a big source of inspiration. My travel photos are more like street photography. I like to capture daily moments, people, architecture, food, culture, religion, and nature. You just need…

Night

Shooting by night is what I like the most after Nature Photography. Most of the time there isn’t any ambient light and you need to find the right way to isolate or emphasise your subject. For me night photography brings more emotion and you can easily play with the atmosphere. It’s also easier to bring…

About Me

Well, let’s just say that when it comes to talking about me, I’m definitely not an expert in the matter. In fact, I’m much more comfortable behind a camera than in front of one!

My first encounter with photography was in the early 90s when I started using a film camera. When the digital camera came about, I became very quickly addicted! As the years went on I learnt the different techniques by experimenting and trying them out. I am very passionate about photography and every day I love making new discoveries about the latest techniques.

I shoot as I go as we say and love playing with the light. Nature is my playground as it is ever-changing.

Ibis Styles Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie Centre – Great Location, Excellent Breakfast, but Mixed Value

During our summer stay in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, we chose this Ibis Styles for its excellent central location, making it easy to explore the town on foot. We particularly enjoyed the friendly welcome, large swimming pool and outstanding breakfast buffet, with plenty of choice and several local specialities.

However, the room was quite small and basic for the high-season price, with few amenities, slow Wi-Fi and noisy air conditioning. While the location and breakfast were definite highlights, we felt the hotel offered only average value for money. Read our full review to discover what we liked, what disappointed us and whether we would stay again.
