NEW YORK
New York City was everything my childhood self dreamed of distant, larger than life, almost impossible to reach from where I grew up in France. Stepping into the city felt like stepping into my imagination, except this time it was real. What struck me first wasn’t just the size or the lights, but the feeling that the entire city was alive. Every sound, every face, every street pulled me forward. I felt an undeniable need to create. Not because I wanted to, but because the city made it impossible not to. In NYC, I wasn’t just taking photos. I was living the dream that shaped who I am today.
A dream that finally met reality.
NYC completely shifted the way I approach photography.
The speed of the city trained my eye differently: I had to react instantly, catch moments that disappeared a second later, and trust my instinct more than ever before. What I loved most was the diversity. Every street offered a new style to explore. Street portraits, reflections, buildings, movement, silence, chaos… everything felt like a playground with no rules. New York taught me not to limit myself.
It pushed my creativity further, made me faster, and helped me develop a style built on spontaneity and precision.
In New York, everything happens at once, and that’s exactly what I loved.
I wanted to see everything, photograph everything, feel everything. The city moved fast, so I moved fast with it. I shot instinctively, without overthinking, chasing scenes that most people walked past without noticing.
NYC gave me a rush I had never felt before.
It made me bold, curious, and hungry to create.
It wasn’t just a trip, it was momentum
A Moment I Didn’t
Expect
One of the craziest surprises of my time in NYC was crossing paths with Central Cee, one of the most influential UK rap artists of today. I met him in the streets of DUMBO, completely by chance.
It was a short moment, but one that reminded me how unpredictable this city is …
