At Teahupo’o, Tahiti, one of the world’s heaviest waves takes the shape of an eye staring back at the surfer who dares to enter. This moment is not only about athletic performance, but about confronting fear, risk, and the raw power of the ocean. The image captures the essence of extreme sports at Teahupo’o — a place where courage, culture, and danger merge in every ride.

Originaire de France métropolitaine, je vis depuis plus de 25 ans en Polynésie Française où je consacre l'essentiel de mon temps libre à la photographie. Randonneur et plongeur, je cherche à montrer la beauté mais aussi la fragilité des écosystèmes terrestres et marins qui m’entourent.
