Work Experience
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work closely with musicians, artists, and creative teams, bringing their visions to life through visually captivating content.
In my ongoing work with Gaetan Buisson and Daisy Rutter, I direct, produce, and edit music videos that translate each artist’s concept and sound into dynamic visuals. I’ve also developed Spotify canvases that capture artist identity, which have driven notable growth in streams and engagement. My concert photography has allowed me to capture the energy of live performances, from intimate settings to large concert stages, consistently delivering high-quality, expressive visuals.
I’ve also worked as a director and editor with ALTROVE and ROSIN, where I conceptualised and directed live concert shoots and a documentary about these up and coming artists. I’m experienced in guiding shoots to balance cinematic storytelling with authentic musical expression and enjoy collaborating closely with artists to create a final product that resonates with both their brand and their audience.
At Imiter La Perfection, I produced high-quality studio photography and video projects, ensuring each piece aligned with client expectations and artistic vision. Working under tight deadlines, I filmed and edited interviews and product trailers that highlighted the subjects in an engaging and brand-consistent way.
