Big Bend National Park
Géo Magazine
Writing & photography - Separated from Mexico by the Rio Grande, Big Bend is a stunning national park in Texas that encompasses diverse ecosystems, from arid deserts to lush riverbanks and mountains, making it a haven for wildlife. In a single day, one can encounter a black bear in a grove of aspens, witness a herd of collared peccaries stirring on the plain dotted with agaves and yuccas, or catch sight of turtles basking in the sun on the banks of the Rio Grande. Despite its remarkable natural beauty and designation as an International Dark Sky Place, Big Bend attracts far fewer visitors than other national parks due to its remote location. I explored this rugged landscape for GEO Magazine, hiking in the Chisos Mountains, soaking in hot springs by the river and embarking on a canoe trip in the majestic Santa Elena Canyon.
Acadia National Park
Géo Magazine
Writing & photography - The Wabanaki, People of the Dawn—the Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot—have lived in the Acadia region, in present-day Maine, since time immemorial. Through their interactions with land, water, sea, and sky, they cultivate knowledge that sustains and transforms their identity. They have lost access to the coast as settlement patterns begun by European colonists continue to encroach on their traditional territories. Today, traditional practices like sweetgrass harvesting are being revived, symbolizing cultural resilience. Archaeological discoveries offer insights into ancestral lifestyles, prompting reevaluation of park collections. I met with ecologists and archeologists conducting research in Acadia National Park to discuss how indigenous-led science can help reframe narratives and reclaim culture, as efforts are underway to integrate Wabanaki culture into park management.
Harlem Honeys & Bears
The Washington Post
Writing & photography - The Honeys and Bears are a synchronized swimming team for seniors founded in 1979 in Harlem. Members are between the ages of 62 and 101 years old, some of whom still remember the era of segregated pools. Several have been swimming their entire lives; some are just beginning to learn. When they slip into the water, gravity seems to evaporate, diseases and injuries go unnoticed to make way for lightness and joy - they feel young again.
Fentanyl poisoning crisis
Usbek & Rica Magazine
Investigation - Overdoses involving fentanyl are behind one in five deaths of people aged 15-24 in California. But many teenagers unknowingly ingest the drug. I met with several families who lost their children after they bought pills from dealers over social media, thinking they were pure oxycodone while they were actually laced with fentanyl. These families find purpose and a bit of solace in raising awareness about the risks of fentanyl poisoning at schools and through parent networks. Perla had to investigate her son’s death in order to identify his dealer and prevent him for doing more harm. Amy testified on Capitol Hill to a House panel investigating big tech and the fentanyl poisoning crisis. Some families have rallied to take legal actions against Snapchat. Some families have rallied to take legal actions against Snapchat. Others have started working directly with teams developing social media apps, hoping to make these platforms safer for kids and teenagers.
Only in Vermont
Géo Magazine
Feature writing & photography - For GEO Magazine, I went on a road trip through Vermont to meet some of the change makers who contribute to the state’s reputation of being an outlier and a pioneer.
Salem witch trials
Géo Magazine
Feature writing & photography - Beginning in January 1692, young women in Salem Village in colonial Massachusetts complained of torments that caused them to writhe, shriek and contort. The horrified community began to hunt down those responsible for the demonic work, and the resulting trials culminated in the execution of 19 innocent people. This story is a look at how Salem’s legacy endures to this day. The tourism industry has increasingly capitalized on this troubled past since the end of the 19th century, keeping its memories alive but also blurring the lines between remembrance and entertainment. In July of 2022, thanks to the efforts of an eighth-grade civics teacher and her students, Elizabeth Johnson Jr, the last person whose name was not officially cleared, was finally exonerated.
Big Apple, revisited
Géo Magazine

Atmospheric rivers
Libération
News (text & photography) - January of 2023. Residents of the San Joaquin Valley in California had to evacuate their homes due to flooding, water contamination and power outages, as atmospheric rivers have swept over California, claiming at least 19 lives and dumping 24 trillion gallons of rain since December. Not long ago, these communities were worried about the ongoing drought; now they hurry to protect their houses with sandbags and fear that the flooding of the surrounding fields will leave them unemployed for the weeks to come.
Dry wells
Reporterre
Feature writing & photography - In the Central Valley of California, where more than half of the fruits and vegetables produced in the US are grown, entire communities of Latino farmworkers lack access to drinking water due to the severity of the ongoing drought. In Tulare and Madera counties, some domestic wells have gone dry or low levels have aggravated the ongoing issue of water contamination. To avoid daily exposure to toxic levels of arsenic and nitrates, residents have to bathe their babies and brush their teeth with bottled water. Grassroots activists are determined to remind politicians that access to clean, safe and affordable water is a human right.
Warming cities
Géo Magazine
Feature writing - In Phoenix, where the sun shines three hundred days a year, inhabitants already fight on a daily basis against the harmful effects of climate change. The capital of Arizona has become an open-air laboratory preparing itself and other cities to cope with warmer temperatures . Photographs © Olivier Touron
Randomized living
Usbek & Rica Magazine
Feature writing - Profile of Max Hawkins, a former Google employee who uses computer engineering skills to pursue “randomization” rather than recommendation. He lets algorithms make decisions about his daily life: which clothes to put on, which music to listen to, where to move, who to meet. I joined him in a random location, after his personal algorithm had him travel through California during another stretch of nomadic life.
Storm chasing
GÉO MAGAZINE
Feature writing - I joined meteorologist and storm chaser Lanny Dean on a road trip that took us through Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, in pursue of majestic clouds and captivating tornadoes.
Water crisis in the West
Libération
Feature writing & photography - In Klamath Falls, Oregon, the ecosystem is disrupted by the depletion of the lake. To protect the C’wam and Koptu, two species of native sucker fish sacred to the Klamath Tribes and listed as endangered species since 1988, the federal government announced in the spring of 2021 that the dam gates would remain shut for the first time since 1907, depriving 1200 farm operations and several wildlife refuges from their main water source, amid a historic drought for the American West.
Bootleg Fire
Libération
Reportage - July 2021. Amid a historical drought, the Bootleg Fire raged in Southern Oregon. Volatile and violent to the point of generating its own climate, this atypical fire forced firefighters to adapt.
Decluttering
Libération
Feature writing - Why are the books of Marie Kondo, the guru of tidiness, so successful? Because our compulsion to hoard objects is not an individual disease but a societal problem. In the United States, writers and researchers analyze the origins of our need to accumulate and advocate for a major decluttering.
Survivalism
Usbek & Rica Magazine
Feature writing & photography - Robert Vicino and his son Dante purchased a land at the base of the Black Hills in South Dakota, where 575 concrete and steel bunkers are still standing. In this fortress designed to store bombs and ammunition during the Second World War, they hope to build the largest survival community on earth. They call it xPoint, referring to “the point in time when only the prepared will survive.”
Ethics of meritocracy
Libération
Interview - According to Michael J. Sandel, the meritocratic aspiration generates excess among the winners while it stirs up the resentment of the losers, only widening the gap separating them. In his book, The Tyranny of Merit, this professor of political philosophy at Harvard University encourages elites of meritocracy from around the world to aim for humility. By revealing the "hidden side" of this much-loved notion of merit, Michael J. Sandel hopes to cure us of our obsession with success and to give new momentum to what he considers a neglected quest: the search for "common good".
Extinction of silence
Usbek & Rica magazine
Feature writing & photography - The Olympic Peninsula in Washington is one of the silent battlegrounds where Quiet Park International activists fight to protect “natural quiet”, defined as the sounds of nature without human-made noise. I joined acoustic ecologists Laura Giannone and Gordon Hempton on their journey to record natural quiet, from the muddy trails of Hoh rainforest to the hilly streets of West Seattle.
Andrology
Libération
Interview - Why was andrology born a century after gynecology? And why does a trip to the andrologist still feel like an unfamiliar concept? In a book blending medical history, gender theory and sociology, Rene Almeling argues that the consequences of this "non-production of knowledge" throughout the 20th century go way beyond just healthcare. According to this Yale sociology professor, the journey of andrology has left a lasting mark on American culture and politics. Its absence has played a role in shaping beliefs about reproduction, ones that we still witness and inherit today.
Libération
Reportage - Daniela, Deya, and Juan Carlos call Phoenix, Arizona, home. Despite being unable to cast their votes due to entering the U.S. illegally as kids—brought over from Mexico by their parents at eight months, one year, and seven years old—they're deeply invested in shaping the historically conservative Phoenix into a Democratic stronghold. Faced with an uncertain future and occasional deportation threats, they're dreaming big in a bid to sway the tides in the U.S. presidential election. Through their stories, we catch a glimpse of the profound impact the four years of the Trump administration had on the eleven million undocumented people currently residing in the United States.

“Animal Liberation” & VR
Usbek & Rica Magazine
Feature writing & photography - Direct Action Everywhere, a Berkeley-based organization, strategically employs technology in its advocacy for "animal liberation." DxE eschews the common use of discreet cameras or covertly captured imagery from agricultural facilities. Instead, its members conduct operations with unveiled faces, equipped with conspicuous tools: drones and a pole housing six high-definition cameras, culminating in a 3D film experienced through virtual reality headsets. These activists intend to present this footage during legal proceedings, seeking to demonstrate that their actions constituted "rescue" rather than "theft" of animals. They posit that virtual reality holds the potential to catalyze a moral epiphany, dismantling societal blind spots that have permitted the acceptance of violence against animals. The leader of DxE faces a potential sentence of up to sixty years in prison.
Fossil energies
Libération
Reportage - In December, the Trump administration will auction drilling permits for federal lands in California—a first since 2012. This decision holds significant symbolism in a state that positions itself at the forefront of the energy transition. In Kern County, a predominantly Republican stronghold in 2016, many welcome the prospect of these drills generating employment opportunities or lowering gasoline prices. However, in this region nicknamed “the oil highway”, which boasts some of the most polluted air in the United States, certain residents view this move as another affront to environmental justice.
New revolutions
Libération
Feature writing - Why do some revolutions take root while others fizzle out? Why #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, when numerous other feminist and anti-racist activists have tirelessly advocated with little impact? Several American scholars in recent works attempt to elucidate what ignites the spark in the era of social media and emerging solidarities.
Wildfires in California
libération
Reportage - The historically significant wildfires of August 2020 struck California at a time when the state was particularly vulnerable, still grappling with the COVID-19 epidemic after a remarkable resurgence in cases starting mid-June.

Black Lives Matter
libération
Reportage - Every night since the death of George Floyd, a procession of protesters gathers in Portland, the whitest of major American cities, demanding social justice and an end to racial discrimination. This has drawn the ire of Trump, who dispatched federal troops to restore "law and order."
History of epidemics
libération
Entretien - In "Epidemics and Society," American historian Frank Snowden recounts how, from antiquity to the contemporary era, endemic episodes have shaped our civilizations as profoundly as wars, economic crises, or revolutions. These upheavals have facilitated advancements such as the rise of public health and improvements in urban planning. Despite emerging in a context of vulnerabilities created or perpetuated by society, they also provide opportunities for profound introspection and reassessment.
Essential workers during Covid
libération
Reportage - The Central Valley in California produces two-thirds of the fruits and one-third of the vegetables in the United States. During the pandemic, despite inadequate health and social protections, 400,000 agricultural workers, 92% of whom are Latinos, continued their hard work.

Psychology of pandemics
libération
Interview - Several months before the emergence of Covid-19, Professor Steven Taylor, a researcher in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, published The Psychology of Pandemics. In his work, he emphasizes the crucial importance of reintegrating psychology into crisis emergency management, as it is the emotions, beliefs, and expectations of the population that will determine whether an epidemic is contained or not.
Outdoors industry & climate change
libération
Reportage - In the fall of 2018, the renowned Aspen Snowmass winter sports resort in Colorado initiated the "Give a Flake about climate change" campaign. The operation aims to turn the ski resort's customers into activists in the fight against climate change, encouraging them to call out elected officials for their lack of action in addressing the urgency of the problem. It directly targeted the Trump administration throughout the 2020 presidential campaign.
Super Tuesday
Libération
Reportage - March 2020. The electorate of the Central Valley, an agricultural corridor connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles inland, is highly coveted by candidates in the U.S. presidential election.

Tax justice
Libération
Profile - Dubbed the "Piketty Boys," Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman are consulted by the leftmost candidates in the American Democratic primary.

Searching for migrants
Néon magazine
Reportage (text & photography) - Every month, volunteers from Aguilas del Desierto, a San Diego-based organization, comb the active zones of the border in search of migrants who have gone missing during their perilous journey. Armed with extra water and the hope of saving a life, they also carry hospital masks and wooden crosses, attaching them to their backpacks. It's a somber march, knowing they'll either return with the weight of finding nothing, or with GPS coordinates marking the location of a life lost. This is their way of providing solace to grieving families and contributing to the unofficial count of migrants who have perished in the unforgiving desert.
Ethics of philanthropy
libération
Interview - Could making a donation actually favor the wealthy?
