          You spent your childhood working in your father’s photographic studio, can you share with us your memories from that time and how much impact do you think that training has had on your career and on your work?

          I started to go to the shop when I was really little, I was about 7 or 8 years old.

          During the summer holidays we didn’t go anywhere else, I went to the shop literally for three month and I used to clean the toilet floor, make the coffee, all these types of things and i did that every year until the time I was 11 or 12 years old.
          I learnt how to work just by looking.

          There was one big machine that used to print 10,000 prints an hour, it was massive and I learnt from observation, I took over this machine and started to teach other employees and the newcomers to the shop how to work, I was then about 12 or 13 years old.
           
          But the love of photography started before that, because I remember my father was subscribed to this French magazine
