Devaux became interested in photography as a youth. While studying film, he experimented with other media, including photography, experimental filmmaking, painting, and collage. His work lies somewhere between photography and painting, allowing him to pursue his investigation of sacred themes, profanity, and isolation. In 2011, he won the Bourse du Talent #46 competition, organised by Photographie.com, Nikon, Picto, Herez, and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. That same year, he was nominated for the “Prix Arte/Cutlog Art contemporain”. In January 2012, filmmaker David Lynch exhibited Devaux's photos during the inauguration of his new Paris nightclub, Silencio. For Le Figaro, "his portraits of women taken at fashion shows and art openings, which are then digitally reworked, have a timeless grace that denounces with elegance the ephemeral character of beauty. Madonnas are damned for all eternity." His photographs are included in collections such as Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF). In 2013, Devaux's work was exhibited in South Korea, China, France, Belgium, Russia, and Hong Kong. He was invited to present his work during the antiquity theatre soirées held during the Internationales de la Photographie d'Arles 2013.
