About me

I am an amateur. Photography is but a hobby for me. In real life, I am a scientist and a teacher. My main job is to mess with ants, play with robots, and poke slime molds to understand cooperation, swarm intelligence and collective stupidity in social systems – from ant colonies to human crowds. This is maybe why my photography is drawn toward urban environments and city-dwellers: they don’t look too different from the ants we study in my lab.

Film photography?

I take pictures with whatever I have on me. Sometimes my cell phone, sometimes a digital camera. Most of the time, however, I shoot with film cameras.

Why film? Because I’ve never lost that sense of surprise that one gets when discovering their images for the first time on a newly developed roll of film. And who doesn’t like a bit of surprise in their life?
