On the way to Bagan. My trip to Burma is till now the one that affected me the most… Indeed beyond the heavy atmosphere because of the regime, I’ve met there awesome people living in fear and sadness that i read in their eyes. But impressively they were still keeping a very strong dignity even if they had almost no hope….

Born in 1975 in Turkey I moved to France for studies in 1994 where I live since then and where I developed and intensified my practice of photography. After a degree in political sciences and a master in turkish language and oriental civilizations, I cumulated a lot of jobs in various sectors. I’m now looking forward to go back to Asia as soon as I find sponsors and funding in order to work on a half dozen of other documentary projects in Asia that I have. Or by phone at 33 6 41 84 17 77.
