I’m a cinematographer and director based in Paris. I work between fashion, advertising and film, and I like images that carry something slightly off inside them: a shift in texture, an accident I decided to keep, a presence that may or may not be there.
I trained in Lyon, then spent two years inside the Stanley Kubrick archives, which taught me how much a film depends on decisions nobody is supposed to notice. On set I’ve held almost every position around the camera, from 2nd and 1st AC to 1st AD on productions for Lacoste, Louis Vuitton and others. It gave me a working sense of how a shoot actually holds together.
I shoot, grade and edit. Camera on the shoulder, on roller skates, on a color console. Image, sound, rhythm and light are one continuous problem, and I’d rather follow it from the first setup to the last pass.
I work with production companies including Kitten, Aurea Production, Farago Projects, Lotti Projects, Cadence Image, and many others and I alternate commissioned work with personal films built on obsession, visual aberration and strangeness. The precision comes from one side, the risk from the other.
