Welcome to this new episode, recorded right here in the south of France — with a coffee beside me, the hum of the air conditioning in the background, and a mind full of reflections.

I’ve been walking through old streets, galleries, and churches filled with photography. I’ve talked to photographers from all walks of life — award-winners and those just starting out — and one thing keeps coming up: The feeling of doing, producing, posting... without pausing.

This summer, I’m realizing something important:
A creative pause isn’t a luxury. It’s essential. Not to stop everything. Not to burn it all down. But to feel again what’s true. What do you really want? Where are you going — and is it still your path?

In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into that space. A moment of stillness. A little truth. And a big shift — even if it’s quiet.

I’ll also tell you more about The Daily Frame, a new daily podcast series starting in August, designed to help you reconnect with your clarity and creative voice — one small thought at a time.

So if you’ve been feeling off, unsure, or just tired of the pressure to keep going...
This episode is for you.
