Conversations with the world

Nicolas is traveling the world with his camera and microphone looking for unexpected encounters, seeking the emotional impact of conversations with whom we normally cannot reach, and sharing with all. Russia, China, Mongolia, and Laos are countries which have deeply influenced him. But it is especially with South American people that he developed strong links with time.

A reporter for the magazine Grandreportage, photographer for PlanetFinance, Nicolas incorporates his know-how to the accomplished project and his sensibility on human relationships by using the powerful combination of image and sound.
