Bonjour, I am Yannick

I really enjoy telling stories and capturing moments of life. When I am not coding stuff at work or for myself, you’ll probably find me brewing a cup of black coffee, learning how to surf, capturing moments on film or spending some quality time with the family.

We launched an amazing project with Cloé. You should follow @douarenn or visit douarenn.fr. This is our cabin, disconnected from the internets in the middle of Finistère, in a place called “les Monts d’Arrée”. Book it now!

Current gear:

I stopped thinking about home scans thanks to my great relationship with my beloved lab, Mori. It is way better to build relationship than skills. But hey, it is still somewhere, always.

Surf

I started taking pictures in the water with some fins and a Nikonos. Salty water is my favorite kind of drug. I got my first longboard shaped by Mimosa. It is a beauty. But I am still a kook. But at least a kook with a damn good looking board. I try to avoid Neoprene and prefer Yulex

Coffee

I love a good cup of coffee. Using v60, Kalita or aeropress. My heart says stop but I keep drinking it. We got an espresso machine cause it is hard to get a good flat white around here but my latte art sucks.

Writing

I am writing a small letter in french about all and nothing every two weeks. It is quite delightful. It forces me to write on a regular basis. I don’t have many readers but they respond to those letters. So that makes me happy.

Favorites

📷 → Negatives get developed and scanned mostly by Mori Film Lab.

☕️ → Most of my coffee beans comes from Mok Coffee and Terres de café. But I still like to try new roasters from time to time. Looking for suggestions

🖨 → Prints come from Ooblik & Négatif+. I soldout my first zine with Ex Why Zed but you can find other fun stuff I printed on the shop.

Social

I stick my pictures and some words kind of all over the web:

I might try even more cause I am getting bored of Instagram.

You can find me writing short stuff on Mastodon or Threads. I am still on Twitter
