Portrait of a man (Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov) is the photography work resulting from the "Le Havre-New York, Regards croisés" residency, first produced in New York (October-December 2011) and then in the artist's studio in Le Havre (August 2012).

This set forms a photographic portrait of Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov, the protagonist of Dostoyevsky's novel, Crime and Punishment. The novel, which describes a double murder and its physical and psychological consequences on the murderer Raskolnikov, follows the painful development that ends in unexpected salvation.
