Portrait · The artist

André
Seïté.

Born in Roscoff, in northern Finistère, I grew up amid the smell of sea spray and the shifting colours of the Breton sky. A lifelong photography enthusiast, I now devote my work to capturing the soul of a region I roam tirelessly.

Artist's notebook · Roscoff, Northern Finistère

From the Pointe du Raz to the ramparts of Saint-Malo, from storm-battered lighthouses to the silent moors of Crozon, every photograph is an encounter — with a light, an element, a moment that will never return.

My work has been exhibited in Quimper, Brest and Vannes, and published in several books devoted to Brittany's maritime heritage.

Roscoff,
where it all begins.

A corsair port and town of character, Roscoff shaped my eye: the northern light, the tides, the sails in the channel of the Île de Batz. I keep returning, the way one returns to the source.
