Cyril, where are you from and where do you live now?
I'm French and I was born in paradise, New Caledonia. I now live in Sydney, Australia.

How would you describe your artistic style?

What's on top of your bucket list (as an artist or just as a person)?
Hard to choose between a relaxing photo trip to Cuba drinking Mojitos on the beach and a wildlife safari in Botswana.

New York or remote mountain hut?
New York for sure! Again and again.

Becks or Merlot?
I'm French, so? Merlot for sure! But my favourite would be a good Burgundy (family origins), either a Puligny Montrachet or a Romanee Conti.

And a little Proust: What is your idea of perfect happiness?
My partner and myself on a remote island in the New Caledonian lagoon (kitesurfing and photoshooting). No phone, no wifi.
