I was born into a family that brought the first automobiles to market at the beginning of the last century. For as long as I can remember, I have always heard about motorsport at home and automobiles in the broad sense.
My passion for modes of transport on land also led me to develop a passion for boats during the many school holidays that I spent in Brittany. After my military service in the Navy I began learning how to make sails for large racing multihulls and the last 12MJIs in the America's Cup at the end of the 1980s.
Back in the Paris region, I will join the DPPI press agency created by my father in 1962 where I will learn the basics of photography and business during the first 3 years.
Through a combination of circumstances I will create, develop and manage what will become 10 years later the most important structure for marketing boat photos within a photographic press agency.
At the beginning of this century I will restore several old automobiles, including one of the most emblematic single-seaters in French motorsport that had launched Matra Sport in a quest for victories for 10 years.
After this interlude I returned to my job as a photographer to produce subjects on automobile heritage and motorboats.
One of the first racing Ferrari 275 GTB built in 1964 attacks the Porsche corner. The chassis No. 06881 is driven by its current owner, the Spaniard Carlos Miguel, at Le Mans Classic 2014.
The 275 GTB racing car would enhance the Prancing Horse brand in the GT class in Endurance after the famous 250 GTO of which they inherited the V12 3 Litres. However, their chassis had been improved and the body received a better aerodynamic design.
