We belong to the Cousteau generation who, when we were around ten years old, dreamed only of expeditions on the Calypso. But life led us down other paths. When, in 2003, we had the opportunity to try scuba diving in a pool, it rekindled all our childhood dreams, and diving quickly became our main hobby.
Already practicing land photography, it was only natural that we took up underwater photography as soon as we earned our Level 3 certification.
Since then, we have shared this passion as a couple, and every vacation becomes an opportunity to explore the seabed, whether in France or in any of the world's oceans.
"Color is the glory of light.."
Jean GUITTON
From portrait to landscape, from insects to flowers, from urban to urbex...
Try the color!
"From black and white to sepia, dreams come with a monochrome tone."

A B&W photo is a monochrome photo, but not every monochrome photo is a B&W.
"There are doors to the sea that can be opened with photographs." Rafael Alberti
From the silent depths to the open horizons of seascapes, and including its fauna and flora, the sea invites us to photography.
