As a photographer for the ZUMA Press agency, my work is published in newspapers and magazines such as The Wall Street Journal, Paris Match, Le Figaro Golf, Le Parisien, L\u2019\u00c9quipe\u2026<br \/>\nI discovered photography during a summer camp when I was 12. My teacher\u2019s genius brought my passion for this art to the surface.<br \/>\nAs years went by, I improved my skills in the family circle and a few years later, I was choosing sport photography \u2013 what an interesting playground!!!<br \/>\nThe beauty of the gesture, the concentration, the precise positioning, the attitude, then a face, a body that is contorted by the effort, either by the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat\u2026<br \/>\nMy philosophy of imagery: the art of movement in sport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"xphotographerspost__about_texts\">\n<p>I have always been attracted to new photographic technology so I had been looking for a while for lightweight equipment which would allow me to produce high-quality shots. Chance played a large part as I found myself with a FUJIFILM X-T2 camera in my hand. I was astonished by its color accuracy, its noise management in high ISO settings \u2013 essential for\u00a0 indoor events or night races \u2013 and its dynamic range.<br \/>\nI was pleasantly surprised by the X-T2\u2019s operation: a brilliant and highly-reliable autofocus (driven by various settings which meet most demands in sport photography), a frame rate of 11\u00a0fps\u2026 The equivalent of a high-end professional SLR.<br \/>\nFor the photographers from my generation, FUJIFILM means a wide range of films. I can &#8220;use&#8221; them again via the film simulation modes such as Velvia, ASTIA, ACROS\u2026<br \/>\nMoreover, every setting is within reach: aperture, ISO sensitivity, shutter speed, over-exposure, under-exposure\u2026 Like many of my colleagues, my number one enemy is weight. As far as I\u2019m concerned, I used to travel with 25kg of photo equipment and had to negotiate constantly with the airport authorities to board an aircraft.<br \/>\nToday, I travel with half this weight for the same type of equipment. Everything fits in a backpack. To me, the X-T2 is the ideal reportage equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":21938,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","category":[1006,1055,13039,3211,13042,3407,5808,11100,8503,8601,8552,8748,13041,3358],"post_tag":[],"fujifilm_title":[12508],"class_list":["post-21937","photographer","type-photographer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cameras","category-lenses","category-mirrorless-digital-cameras","category-x-series-mirrorless","category-teleconverter-lenses","category-x-mount-teleconverter","category-x-t2","category-xf14x-tc-wr","category-xf10-24mmf4-r-ois","category-xf100-400mmf4-5-5-6-r-lm-ois-wr","category-xf16-55mmf2-8-r-lm-wr","category-xf50-140mmf2-8-r-lm-ois-wr","category-zoom-lenses","category-zoom","title-photographer"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-04 14:39:46","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/photographer\/21937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/photographer"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/photographer"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/category?post=21937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_tag?post=21937"},{"taxonomy":"title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/ro-ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fujifilm_title?post=21937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
