I also do photography, in relation to; my studies which I resumed in environmental geography. I get a lot of inspiration from taking photos and traveling around the world. across the world and also wherever I was born.

It was in 2017, after 45 years, that I met my biological family, in particular my father, my brothers and my sisters. I discovered a Polynesia that I did not know with magnificent landscapes.
