Multicard photographer, Gilles is also at ease to shoot a professional climber in the depths of China suspended from a rope; than in a concert crowd or in a quiet corner for a report. One thing in common, however, is that there is a snapshot of life to be seized and that one has to invest both humanely and physically.

Skier, climber, kayaker, paraglider and above all a photography and events activist, he likes to get lost, for sport or for work, in uncrowded areas, Spitsbergen, Hoggar, the Middle Atlas, the Sultanate of Oman …

All facets of the photographer’s profession interest him, from logistics to the use of images, including symbolism and material.
