In fact, he decided to stay, and has since married a Cambodian woman.Lea was born in 2002. He continuing his fascination with the ruines of the great Khmer Empire, he has led to a largely black and white photographic oeuvre, some which appeared in books, postcards.
In 1994 Thierry established a department of photography at the Royal University of Fine Arts, in Phnom Penh, where he teached 3 years.
In 1997 he began a publishing company (now know as Diwo Publisher), producing postcards, posters, books, and photography.

I knew him (back in the 90s... )
He was in cancer remission and it seems the death is linked to his cancer.
RIP.
He was a great guy.

Opening a gallery and naming it Gallery 1 only to open Gallery 2 a year later shows true dedication. Will they remain after his passing?
