Travelling Light Club
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I wonder if it is relevant to separate the two, to oppose them as they respond so naturally to each other. The image leads to words and the words create images. Both transport us elsewhere, a little further. Both are a journey. An immobile and timeless journey.
I would like ‘Travelling Light Club’ to be a picture book. A bend of photos and writings, images and words.
I would like ‘Travelling Light Club’ to be a book of travels: epic and tiny, inland and wild, organised and clandestine.
I also would like ‘Travelling Light Club’ to be a book of mirages: suspended moments, passing days, the illusion of an evaporated reality.
Finally, I would like ’Travelling Light Club’ to be a place to present my work but also to highlight the work of other artists (photographers, writers, painters, etc.). A place to discover these horizon openers, these story tellers, these usurpers.

“I look for moments that are quietly unique. Often an isolated thing or person in an environment that on first glance is ordinary but on second glance tells a subtle story. Light plays an essential part of how I see that story being told, creating a mood and provoking feeling in each image. As a travel photographer, I strive to catch the essence of the place I am in at that exact time. My role is to tell a story of that place for people to connect with.”
