Grégoire is a 28 years old French photographer based in London. He grew up in Aix-en-Provence in Southern France and has lived in Marseille, Toulouse and now London. He lived in the countryside for 17 years and started photography by taking photos of his cats, plants and butterflies. He dreamt about being a wildlife photographer specialising in monkeys but on the advice of his parents, he chose something a bit easier for his future, given there are no monkeys in Provence.
Only a few days ago he did a photo shoot with the British band Arctic Monkeys, a nice coincidence.
After his studies in Toulouse, he worked 4 years in Marseille for an agency (Reportages) and moved to London in 2008.
