Born in Liège in 1960, I soon moved to Madrid were I lived until I was 15 and attended the local french high school. I then moved to Rome, where I completed my education studying film at the professional state school ‘Roberto Rossellini’ and photography at the ‘European Institute of Design’. I started working as a camera operator in 1979. In 1982 and 1983 I worked in Lebanon with journalists Saville Ryan and Enzo Biagi covering the war. |
