As a director & DOP, I've worked on over a hundred short films, music videos and commercials for various clients, from independent customers to French luxury brands.
At 18, I founded my own production company "Looking for Harry" near Paris, and started working as a freelancer with one idea in mind: to offer my unique aesthetic, from pre-production to the final rendering.
Owner of my own equipement, I'm currently between Chicago and France and am determined to expand my work across the Atlantic.
In need of a little "Je ne sais quoi" ?
My vision could be the one for you !

Music video for the French artist A2H directed by A2H himself in Mai 2022.

The goal was to represent a part of LGBT+ community in a very moody graphic party.
One of the biggest inspiration for the visual part was Euphoria.

L'HOMME QUI NE VOULAIT PLUS SE LEVER
DOP - EDITOR/COLORIST
Synopsis
One day, a father decided he didn't want to get out of bed. People are worried and are looking for a meaning to this strange behavior.
Short film written and directed by Marius Hellot (from Looking for Harry) in June 2022 for which I was cinematographer and colorist.
The complete production of the short film was completed in 1 week, and is currently competing at French festivals.
The objective was to propose a disturbing but very fixed image, like the protagonist: I therefore used a lot of short focal length with composed fixed shots. For the colors, I wanted to create a textured environment that gradually becomes more and more gloomy with the character's decline.
