Five years ago, @sylvieganter invited me to join an adventure that was, at the time, nothing more than an idea.
That idea slowly became Superpouvoirs.

Over the years came hundreds of photographs, recipes imagined with @jelka.holler , portraits, still life, styling sessions, endless creative conversations, and photo shoots that took us from Paris to New York, Hossegor and beyond.

Most of the photographs were created specifically for the book. But what I find particularly moving is that some images already existed. They had been part of my own photographic journey for years, and they naturally found their place within these pages, as if they had been waiting for this story all along.

Looking through the finished book, I also smile at the familiar faces. Friends who quietly became part of the adventure without ever imagining they`d end up in its pages. I love that.

Watching a project evolve over five years is a rare privilege. Seeing it finally become something people can hold in their hands is even more special.

This is the kind of project every photographer dreams of.

Not simply because it results in a beautiful book, but because you`re invited to build a visual world from the very beginning, to watch it grow over time, and to become part of its story.

Congratulations, dear @sylvieganter. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and for this extraordinary journey. I`m so proud to have created the photographs that now live within these pages. 

Superpouvoirs @editionsdurocher is now available in bookstores and via the link in my profile.

There must be something incredibly fulfilling about creating the place you`ve always dreamed of.
Farasha @farmhousemarrakech feels exactly like that. Every detail seems intentional, every material chosen with care, every corner carrying the same quiet vision. Nothing feels arbitrary.
Just outside Marrakech, surrounded by olive trees, it is one of those places that doesn`t try to impress. It simply knows what it is. And that`s often what makes a place unforgettable.

As a photographer, I spend my life stepping into other people`s dreams. Homes, hotels, restaurants, books, brands... each one begins as an idea in someone`s mind before becoming something tangible.

I`ve come to realize that the places I`m drawn to are never random. They always hold something that speaks to me. Photographing other people`s dreams has become one of my own.

I`ve always had a thing for the sun.
I was born at the end of July, during one of those scorching summers. Fifty years later, I stepped into a new decade in another exceptionally hot one. Not exactly something to celebrate in itself, let`s face it, but somehow the symbolism wasn`t lost on me.
Looking back, so many things suddenly seem connected. My love for yellow. My instinctive attraction to warmth, light and joyful places. Even my Moroccan nickname, Choumissa : "little sun." I`ve never been particularly interested in being "in" the spotlight, but I`ve always been drawn to what radiates good energy, whether it`s a person, a place, an idea or simply a way of moving through life.
This summer has felt like a quiet turning point. I returned to Stromboli. I returned to Hydra exactly thirty years after discovering it for my twentieth birthday, this time celebrating my daughter`s twentieth while quietly marking my own milestone. At the end of June, I had gathered dear friends for a "Hotter Than July" celebration that felt like the most joyful way to welcome this new chapter.
Back in January, I made a vision board. Not because I believe the universe magically grants wishes, but because I believe clarity changes the way we move through life. Looking at it today, I`m struck by how much has gently unfolded over these past months. The photographs, the book, the retreats, the journeys, the conversations, the people... None of it feels accidental.
I`ve come to believe that joy has a quiet kind of power. It sharpens our vision, gives us the courage to say yes, attracts the right people and gently nudges us towards the life that already feels true. The clearer the vision, the easier it becomes to recognise the doors worth opening.
Turning fifty doesn`t feel like reaching the finish line. It feels more like arriving at the top of a mountain, looking back with gratitude and suddenly realising that the horizon ahead is even more exciting than the climb behind.
So I`m writing this from the heart of summer with a warm heart and a deep sense of gratitude.
Thank you for being here, for following my work, my travels, my photographs, my books and all the ideas that keep taking shape☀️

Walking into @momo_jemaa_el_fna in Marrakech felt like stepping inside someone`s joyful imagination.
Designed by architect Yann Dobry @yannrehaan , every surface seems to celebrate colour. Pink meets ochre, mint, coral, turquoise... nothing is timid, yet everything somehow belongs together. It shouldn`t work. It absolutely does.

In a world that often mistakes minimalism for elegance, places like this remind me that generosity can be beautiful too.

Colour isn`t decoration. It`s emotion.

The chapel of Ginostra opens straight onto the sea. The view is breathtaking, the marble stays wonderfully cool, and the resident cat seems to have claimed the role of guardian. I don`t think anyone is arguing with him. I didn`t see anyone else, so I assume he`s in charge...
