We wanted to meet him to learn more about him and his passion for photography

@Photographicdiary_ in a few words

Let me introduce myself, I am Sébastien, I am 24 years old and I am the creator of the Instagram page
@PhotographicDiary_
I mainly publish photos of my walks, my travels or simply my good addresses (like a City guide). And of course I like to discover the city of Lavandou, the city where I grew up and in which I still live today.
To be original, I publish photos at eye level to give the impression to my subscribers that they are discovering these different places with me. And thus make them want to go there. Sometimes I use my drone to give an exceptional and atypical view of the sky to this place that I present to them.

Your passion ? At the same time the photo and video but also trips and walks in all genres.
Your motto? “Never give up, work always pays off” to the point of having this phrase tattooed on me! But regarding photography I would say that you have to “sublimate everything that nature and the world have that is sublime to show you”.

The perfect day for you looks like…

The perfect day for you looks like…
Regardless of the season, I would say that a beautiful day begins with a Sunrise à Saint-Clair in alignment with Whale Rock.
In winter, stroll and admire the beaches of Lavandou when everything is calm.
Out of season, the tip of Layet is sublime! And admire the sunset on the heights of the ridges or the terraces of Saint-Clair.
Summer, after sunrise in Saint-Clair, we can go sunbathing at the beach Jean Blanc, lunch in the beach restaurant on the Anglade beach.
Then, to end the day in summer, go for a drink facing the sea at the end of the evening at Saint-Clair beach to the sounds of the waves.
I almost forgot the ice cream tasting at the Palais des Glaces in the middle of summer in the city center of Lavandou, a must-see place for me!

What do you like to photograph the most in Lavandou? For what ?

I like to photograph the nature at Lavandou. There are a lot of natural spaces, all of which I haven't been able to photograph yet. I still have many places to discover and to show you
The place I love to photograph is Layet, especially in the off-season, it's ideal! Its vegetation and its view facing the sea and the Levant / Port-Cros islands are to be immortalized.
