About me

I inherited my grandfather's passion for images, his Rolleiflex having passed on to me his artistic vision of the world. His lens travelled the plains of the Netherlands, mine the peaks of the Alps.

The first time my parents put their camera in my hands, I was barely over ten. It only had a semi-automatic mode, so I learned the basics of photography straight away. I still remember my father telling me to "concentrate" in the moments before the shutter sounded. A few years later, my uncle gave me my first camera, which stayed with me for many years.

It was in high school that I discovered the world of video. With a Gopro on my head, I started to share the climbing and skiing days I spent with my friends. Then I took part in the Chamonix short film festival: Préambules. Although it didn't win a prize, my film was selected and screened with some twenty other films in front of a packed house.
This experience encouraged me to continue creating, and in the months that followed, I increasingly stepped out of my comfort zone in the videos I made.
At this point, I began to no longer simply show my mountain outings, but to tell about them. I experimented with editing, and tried to understand what influence the order of shots could have on the video as a whole.

This curiosity has never stopped growing within me, and today I continue to tell stories. I'm passionate about the truth, so I naturally turned to documentaries.
But more than just showing or telling it, what I want to do is convey it. And that's where the power of a film lies: in conveying the emotion that the protagonists felt at the time of the action. Whether it's thrills, humility or brotherhood.
My aim is to instill that in the viewer.
