Nexstep - Around the World
2026
NextStep - Around the World is a documentary co-directed with Yannis Crettenand, a project that felt personal from the start. We both went through the NextStep program ourselves, completing internships abroad (I did mine in India), so when we were asked to document it, we knew exactly what it meant to the people we were filming.
The film follows young Swiss vocational graduates as they complete internships in South Korea, India, Brazil, and Japan, capturing how a few months abroad can reshape both a career and a sense of self.
We conducted interviews across four countries and shaped each story into a single cohesive narrative.

Le Goût De La Victoire
2025
Le Goût De La Victoire is my graduation documentary.
It follows Leo Fasel, a young car enthusiast who lost the use of his right arm after a serious motorcycle accident, and refused to stop racing.
I filmed him as he signed up for the Slalom de Bière, a local competition where he had everything to prove. The film is about resilience, and about his determination to show the world what he’s capable of.
From concept to final cut, I handled every aspect of the production — directing, filming, sound, and editing.
This project taught me how to earn trust on a shoot, how to be present without being intrusive, and how to let a story breathe on its own.
Eau De Toilette
2025
This short film addresses the theme of taboo, specifically the taboo of failure and family pressure. Eau de Toilette presents this theme through Gianni, a young Italian sent to Switzerland by his father to study at the prestigious EHL, a hotel school.
The young man is expelled from the school but doesn’t dare to admit it to his father, who had high hopes for him.
This project was done in a group within the LAB module at ERACOM. The LAB is a module where Interactive Media Design and Graphic Design students are mixed to form collaborative groups. The collaboration between the two professions is interesting as it offers two distinct perspectives and ways of analyzing the same subject.

Norðurljós
2025
The documentary project "Norðurljós" explores the quest for the northern lights in Iceland through a sibling relationship.
This journey symbolizes both a physical goal (observing the auroras) and a more intimate quest to understand sibling dynamics.
The film focuses on the complexity of brotherly relationships, between love, tension, mutual support, and competition. The narrator aims to capture this relationship throughout the trip, with a human and authentic angle, based on the proximity and intimacy of the film. The goal is to show how a common quest, like the auroras, can reveal these dynamics. The introspection revolves around family ties, past cohabitation, and the evolution of the relationship between two brothers who have become young adults.
The project highlights the idea that this quest, both external (physical journey) and internal (emotional exploration), creates shared memories that strengthen the bond between brothers.
Filming in Iceland presented technical challenges:
The weather conditions were extreme, and the days were short.
I feared that the batteries for my camera and microphone wouldn’t last in the freezing cold.
Fortunately, I had prepared well and brought enough batteries to last a full day of adventure without needing to recharge my equipment.
I am satisfied with the final result due to its authenticity and intimacy. If I had to do it again, I would try to film more interactions and dialogues to further develop the characters and their relationships.
Concert Photography
2024
I was asked to photograph the launch of Izia Jeen's debut EP, "La Légende du Colibri," which took place at the Rocking Chair in Vevey.
One of my concerns was how my APS-C camera would perform in low light. I’m pleased with how well it captured the lighting and satisfied with the overall result of my shots.

VATN
2022
This group project was carried out in a school context. The brief was to create a photographic series with the lake as the main theme.
By the lakeside, we all dispersed in search of images. Personally, I became particularly interested in the lighting by the lake, as no light means no photography. Additionally, I wanted to highlight the beauty of objects we often forget to contemplate.
During the review of the photos, we realized that everyone had photographed very different subjects, and we needed to create some form of consistency in this creative chaos. This became my role, and I proceeded to design a small photo book.
It was a rewarding and stimulating experience to collaborate with my classmates on this project. I was able to develop my layout skills while showcasing our collective photographic work.
