My name is Cyril Sancereau, I’m a French photographer from Paris based in Malta.
I specialise in architecture, landscape and abstract landscapes.
How did you get started?
I started photography when I was around 10 during vacations. I was fascinated when I discovered the magic of the darkroom. Later I studied architecture and art.
Whose artist’s work are you most inspired by?
I really like American landscape photographers like Lewis Baltz or Robert Adams. I was also really inspired by the work of Wolfgang Tillmans.

What are you working on at the moment?
At the moment, I’m working on different series.

I prefer to work early in the morning.

Sundays can be very productive for some and very unproductive for others. How do you spend yours?
Very unproductive: Sundays are for resting.
Wine and cheese. Yes or no?

I think I would like to open a gallery or an art foundation.

Used to be Malta, but as I’m lucky enough I could make it my home.
