About

Hi, I’m Benoît, an amateur photographer based in Rennes 🇫🇷 and I enjoy photographing genuine moments ; either on film or digital.

My journey started just before my first trip to Japan, early 2023. A good friend of mine recommended that I take a film camera with me and shoot with it. I hadn’t done that since I was probably ten years old but nothing beats the feeling of old and reliable hardware. I took my mom’s Canon AF35M, a few Portra 400 and I never stopped since.

Then I got my hands on my late grandpa’s camera gear : a Vivitar PZ3115 point-and-shoot and a Canon EF with a huge lens. The Vivitar still had a loaded film and it was a very fulfilling experience to complete and develop it, many years after my gramps passing, continuing his legacy. I will keep using his camera in hopes my pictures can reach him.

I have since then gotten a Fujifilm XT30 II which has helped me develop my skills and reduce my film-related costs. The builtin recipes allow me to keep a vintage look and feel, while allowing me to stay off any heavy post-production editing.
