I am passionate about creation. I started creating techno in 1996, and then graffiti in 98 using computer graphics and silkscreen printing on textiles. In 2010 I moved to the moors and acquired my first dSLR camera in 2012.

Q&A
What is your goal with your artwork?
To take pleasure in creating, stay different from other photographers, and be exhibited in international galleries
Who/what are your biggest creative influences?
I come from an underground background where doing like the others was forbidden or frowned upon. I have kept this essential principle. The only person who really inspired me is Sly from Audience 33, his creativity, his originality and his know-how were an example to follow.
Do your current or past locations influence your artistic choices?
I was born in the Paris region far from the ocean. The beauty and the strength of the natural elements have always impressed me. The years of making electronic music also shaped my imagination.
What projects are you currently working on?
I am currently working to change my approach with aquatic and aerial shots, collaborating, and developing my visibility on the web.
How did you acquire your nickname?
Photo [foto] with the end of my first name [mas] sounded good, “Mas” like massive. Also, for the similarity with “Fantomas” a character of French cinema because I like to be discreet or to hide to take my photos.
What other hobbies do you have?
Movies, surfing, looking and discovering new musical artists.
What brands represent your personal style?
New Era, Carhartt, and Nixon.
