Il utilise d’abord la photographie comme une aie visuelle pour réaliser des gouaches mais se prend au jeu de la pratique photographique et réalise une œuvre monumentale de plus de 2000 clichés tous annotés de sa main se donnant comme objectif de rendre justice au plaisir visuel et à l’observation scientifique. Il expose en 1937 au musée de la France d’Outre-mer et publie en 1942 un ouvrage « Costumes et types du Maroc », réédité en 1988. Il est le représentant d’un courant de pensée autour du concept de géographie humaine.
