Pointu - Festival & Exhibition 2023

The best place to catch updates would be my instagram page but I can not not post about Pointu Festival !

I have started working for this Festival in 2017 when I approached them after seeing the Line Up that contains most of my favorite bands. It takes place by the sea in South of France on an amazing location and it always hasa very curated line-up.

This year, I was asked to exhibit a selection of 50 images. Half of the images were displayed in a tent next to the main stage and the other half were part of an Art installation by the second stage. A stressful yet amazing opportunity for my first exhibition in France ! I will never thank them enough for giving me the chance to show my work. A very big thank you too to everyone who took the time to visit the installations and send me messages about it. It was amazing to see my images printed so big and to hear feedbacks about my work.

To add to that amazing experience, the Line Up was again fantastic with Idles, Kevin Morby, Viagra Boys, A Place to Bury Strangers, Mamalarky…

Check out on my Instagram to see some images of the exhibition and of the performances too !

Updates

Hi, I did lots of things since my last updates:
* I went on Tour with my friend Robin Guthrie
* I shot Villagers live for Redferns/Getty
* I shot Savages for DrownedInSound
* I shot Bloc Party and The Joy Formidable for The Line of Best Fit and I had a picture in the Independent
* I shot Richard Hawley for The Line of Best Fit, I am a big fan !
* And Post War Years at Cargo for Redferns/Getty * And I went to see Jagwar Ma at Birthdays, very good gig !
*  I also shot Of Monsters and Men for The Line of Best Fit and I did some portraits too (scroll right).
* I also shot some Foals Portraits during a video session that they did
* And some portraits of John Newman too, he is amazing
* I also went to see Tall Ships at the Scala, Pics are here and here. It was great to see them again, especially playing their own headline shows. Last time that I saw them was when they were opening for Nada Surf on the European Tour I've done.
* I shot Sigur Ros for DrownedInSound. I love this band but shooting from the right handside behind a line marked on the floor isn't really my cup of tea. Gig was great as usual though ! Saw them many times through the years and they're always majestic.

I'm currently planning my move to Berlin next month which is quite stressful but exiting too ! I'm also really looking to do more Tour documentaries for bands, so if it's of any interest, get in touch.
