He examines the formation of meaning in our information-saturated world, often using autofiction and delving into the essence of imagery and artistic mediums. His art provokes viewers to contemplate their changing perceptions and psychological connections with the moving image. Flavien's minimalist approach maintains a reflective distance yet invites engagement with the profound aspects of human psychology without casting judgment.

In 2000, my journey into photography began by transforming my flat bathroom into a makeshift dark room. From those humble beginnings, my passion for the art propelled me into a dynamic career trajectory. I contributed slides to esteemed image libraries and undertook leadership roles at two prominent photo studios. My studio based work has captured renowned brands like Bevan Funnell, Blendworth Fabrics, and Le Creuset, meticulously showcasing their products in captivating imagery. Additionally, I've had the privilege of documenting pivotal moments for esteemed clients such as BBC, Jagex, and Kimberley Clark, among others. Driven by a sense of adventure and curiosity, I recently returned to Asia, a region I began exploring in the mid-90s. I am thrilled to join the team at Saffron Asia Media Co,. Ltd and to be a part once again of the vibrant Asian economy. We'd be delighted to hear about your project and provide a comprehensive quote.
