Being shortlisted for the Créateurs Design Awards (CDA) for a second year is truly humbling, especially among so many talented colleagues in the industry. It’s inspiring to see such incredible work recognized on a global platform, and I’m grateful to be part of it.

The CDA celebrate global excellence in design and architecture and are recognized as a true peer-to-peer honor, bringing together a distinguished international jury of 300 members from 55 countries. The CDA honors exceptional work across architecture, interior design, product design, photography, journalism, and curation, making this nomination under Best Project Photography not just an accolade, but a reminder of the power of visual storytelling in architecture and design.

This year’s CDA winners include some remarkable figures: Christian de Portzamparc, recipient of the CDA Andrée Putman Lifetime Achievement Award, and Xu Tiantian, winner of Le Prix Charlotte Perriand. Being recognized alongside them and other visionary professionals motivates me to keep pushing the boundaries of architectural photography.

A special thanks to BooBrook for trusting me with their incredible project. Photographing “Noir Matière” was an amazing experience, and collaborations like this are what make moments like these possible.
