About

I am a photographer and maker based in Austin, Texas, USA. My photographic interests focus on the natural and urban landscape, the impacts of modern society on planet Earth. Aside from photography, I also make things to support my photographic work, whether in wood or electronics.

I enjoy the journey of creation from an idea to a physical product, being a book, a print, a digital file, a piece of electronics or wood work. There’s always learning along the way to the destination, there’s always uncertainty to grow from.

A word on my work ethics

We live in incredible times of technological advances. The field of AI (artificial intelligence) expands its generative capabilities on daily basis (so to speak). As it does, with great power comes great responsibility.

My photographic work does not include content generated by AI. Should I make an image with AI, it will be clearly labelled as such. I routinely use image editing software, such as Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. However, adding or changing contents with generative AI is not applied at all.

Also, all material on this web site is under Yves’ copyright. Please kindly request permission to use any photograph. Please play nice.
