I am a versatile image maker; whose skills balance between art and technology. I take interest in image-related topics like lighting, compositing, colour-management but also technical topics like pipeline infrastructure and programming workflows. I strongly care for the human experience and our relation with the craft which I try to share as much as possible. Wether it's writing documentation, creating tutorials or simply open-sourcing my code and making it accessible.
