At the age of 16, Thierry's father sent him to France in order to distance him from the war. A few years later, he landed at polytechnic institute in Brussels where he was destined for a career in mathematics and engineering. It's here that he first began to take photographs. The lab owner who processed his first roll of images was so impresses by his natural aptitude for composition and color that he encouraged him to nurture his innate talent.

In 1989, Thierry moved to New York to assist prestigious photographers Ralph Gibson, Sarah Moon, Duane Michals, Art Kane and Arthur Elgort who gave him insight into their mastery and inspired him to think about his own visual style. Thierry then returned to Beirut where he opened his first commercial photo studio with friend and world-renowed photo journalist Patrick Baz. The studio reinforced his technical skills and gave him the opportunity to shoot a wide range of subjects for advertising clients including Kodak, Seiko, Platex, Marlboro, Tang, Procter & Gamble and numerous local Lebanese businesses. In 1997, he moved to London to "Play with the Big Boys." It's here that the realm of fashio photography offered him the opportunity to start cultivating his personal style and experimenting with a visual language infused with his signature buoyancy.

Thierry's vision was instantly recognized, and he soon collaborated with major fashion magazines such as Tank, Mined, Elle Japan, New York Time, Le Monde, Don't Tell It, Madame Figaro, Jalouse, Dealer Deluxe, IT, AD!D!CT!, Marie-Claire, Zink! and Omen. The recognition that his fashion photography brought him attracted worldwide advertising clients including Sony, Amazon.com, Fiat Cars, Societe Generale, Guinnes, Castelbajac Perfume, Kate Spade, Macy's, Old Navy, Neiman Marcus, Shinsegae Department stores in South Korea and Club Mediterranee.

In 2000, his work has exhibited alongside guy Bourdin, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Klein, Nick Knight, Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, Paolo Roversi and 50 others as part of the group exhibition "Archeology of Elegance" at the Hamburg Museum of modern art. Dealing with the correlation between art and fashion, the exhibition included the most succint and influetial photographers of the 80s and 90s.

Convinced that those who changed the world for the better are the dreamers, not the cynics, Thierry continues to create imagery that vibrates with joy, movement and poetry. Thierry is also expanding the range of his work to include portraiture and still life. He currently splits his time between New York and Beirut.
