I'm a Freelance photographer, I've been working on many photo documentaires and art projects in these past few years. You can see some of my latest work on my Instagram : http://Instagram.com/spagbertin

I love adventures and anything that includes travelling and meeting new people, making new friends, new memories, discovering new places... This is what I call life ! Friends says that I'm laid back ans always zen ! I’m a bike enthusiast, sometimes bike nerd, love to ride my bike everywhere ! In 2011-2012 I cycled around the world with two friends. A year on the road through the Americas, Asia and Europe ! Ever since I’ve been travelling a lot, whenever I have enough money and free time :). Very interested in Africa and Central Asia !

I try to host travelers when I'm at home, last minutes requests are welcome if I'm here :). I like to see my flat as some sort of a meeting place between friends and couchsurfers ! It’s always fun ! I love meeting new people, chatting about all kind of stuff and remake the world around a few beers.

Some trips I've done :
In January/February 2020, just before the Covid19 outbreak in Europe, I travelled with my mum from my hometown in Normandy to Abidjan, Ivory Coast. A crazy 2 month family road trip !

In 2018, I cycled across America, from the Arctic Ocean to Mexico City. 12 453km total !

In 2017, I traveled by train from my home town to Hô Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Since 2013, I've been doing art projects in slums around the world, mainly photography and street art (huge murals) with my friend and street artist Seb Toussaint. Some photos of this here : https://spagphotography.com/share-the-word-project/ and even more on the Instagram of my friend : http://instagram.com/sebtoussaint
