I grew up in the French Alps, and have spent most of my life playing and working in the mountains. Skiing, snowboarding and climbing as a child led me to qualify as a mountain guide & as a ski instructor – and allowed me to share my passion and enthusiasm for the mountains with my clients. Taking photos and filming clients developed my interest in film, and turned my passion for images into a full time obsession.

I haven’t had any formal training in film at all, but am always keen to learn in everything I do. As I started filming I scoured the internet for information on how to get the effects I wanted… There are lots of ways to create and film effects, without needing lots of complicated equipment. I think making a good film is much more about the story you tell, and the connection you make between your subjects and your audience… Passion, curiosity and patience are as valuable & useful tools as the cameras I film with. I like to find ways to get a reaction from the audience, and to challenge people's perceptions in whatever way I can.
