Professional photographer in Paris, with over 8 years of experience in all areas of photography.
Thibault Abraham
Reinventing one's life through images
A graphic designer, founder of a communications agency, and then digital project manager for a major banking group, my instinct told me it was time to explore new horizons. In 2018, I embarked on the incredible adventure of a trip around the world, a journey that transformed me forever and pushed me to reinvent my life through photography.
Throughout my adventures, my eye has become more discerning and my skills have grown, allowing me to reconnect with this passion that has always been within me. From captivating portraits and vibrant urban scenes to exotic landscapes and emotionally charged events, my photographs all have one goal: to create a unique experience, transporting the viewer through an authentic visual story.
Back in my hometown of Paris, and having long since moved beyond the stage of mere amateur to become a true photographic artist, I bring you the world as I see it, blending elegance and complicity with each atmosphere and each model.
For three years, I held a position as a digital project manager at Société Générale in La Défense. On paper, it had everything: job security, career progression, a CV that ticked all the boxes for a successful career. But as the months went by, this success increasingly resembled a gilded cage. There was nothing wrong with the job itself, except that it wasn't my own, and I lacked a direction I'd never truly dared to seek. So I made a choice that surprised everyone around me: to leave everything behind for a trip around the world, without knowing what I would find there.
The meeting
Between missions, my photo and video equipment was always with me. Here are a few drone shots filmed along the way.

A mentor, a trip around the world
It all started with a meeting: my encounter with Madison, a coach at Real Social Dynamics, who offered me the position of his right-hand man on his international speaking and coaching tours. It was with him, and thanks to him, that my world tour truly began, taking me through Europe, Australia, and North America. This selfie, taken on stage with the whole team during a seminar, perfectly encapsulates that period: I was fully immersed in it. Yet, I was still far from having found my direction in life. But these experiences steered it toward something concrete: the search for who I truly was. The encounters I had alongside Madison, with accomplished people in fields very different from my own, were the real catalyst for my desire to create, long before I took a camera seriously.
Learning
Learning without knowing it
While the tour with Madison was in full swing, it was in Los Angeles that photography entered my life, without me really realizing it at the time. Dan, a friend passionate about photography, asked me to model for him at the locations he was scouting around the city. I followed him mostly out of curiosity. But watching him adjust his camera, clean his lenses, anticipate the sun's path for the golden hour, or edit his images in Lightroom at night, I was unknowingly absorbing an entire method. That photo, the very first one we took together, a simple nighttime light trail on an LA freeway, was the discreet starting point for everything that followed.

The turning point
New York, March 2018
A month later in New York, everything I had observed in Los Angeles suddenly made sense. One afternoon, I settled down on the Brooklyn Bridge with a very specific image in mind: a long exposure during the blue hour, the Manhattan skyline in the background, car headlights tracing light trails across the bridge. I waited four hours in the cold, without moving, until I got exactly the photo I had envisioned. Looking at it on my camera screen, I knew. This was no longer just a traveler's pastime: I wanted to take photography seriously and build my life around it.

The tours
Scenes all over the world
In the following months, the tour with Madison continued: packed venues, speaking engagements in front of hundreds of people, content production, event organization. This itinerant routine, repeated country after country, taught me how to read a room and put people at ease in seconds—a skill I still use every day behind the camera.
Back in Paris, I launched my studio business and accepted every project I could find, eager to learn quickly and build a solid practice. That's when everything became concrete: my work finally offered me the freedom I'd been seeking from the start—in the projects, the encounters, the creative process. Even today, what makes me happy is creating and sharing our visions with the people who entrust me with their projects.

The pivot
Bali, then Asia
After deciding to dedicate myself fully to the artistic side of photography, I settled in Bali, where I ended up living for almost a year in total, between several visits. It was there that I began portraiture, almost by chance, before hitting the road again across Asia: Hong Kong, mainland China, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia. Bali became a true anchor, a land that continues to amaze me and nourish my creativity to this day. I no longer simply had a camera in my hands: I had found what I wanted to tell.

I highly recommend Thibault; he's an exceptional photographer. We had a private lesson and a photoshoot. He was extremely skilled and took the time to give me invaluable photography advice. The highlight? I had requested the photoshoot in front of the Eiffel Tower, and he took us to an absolutely incredible spot, right across the street, above the fountains. The result: a magnificent and striking backdrop. During my next trip to Paris, I will definitely use his services again. The photos were superb. He sent me numerous photos and offered both retouched and unretouched versions. I purchased the entire set. Bravo! Thank you again.
