In April 2017 i've been shooting the 2018 North-Sails/Fanatic windsurf collection.

This year we did in for the very first time in the south of France.

I'm proud to shoot those big brands in my own country. We had 3 days very windy and choppy so it was hard to shoot but the result is amazing.

Super nice to work with Reverso Project,  they gave me almost carte blanche for the shooting and trusted me 100% so we did a lot of different shoots together, and hopefully more to come!

This was  so far the best trip I ever did. It was much more then a shooting.

 We went on Spring Island, one square kilometer of wild forest on the rugged west coast of Canada.
The MANERA athletes settled a small camp and lived there for seven days, looking for wind, waves & adventure.

We ended up on Rugged Point Beach, untangling our Kite lines over bear tracks. 
One morning Etienne found his neoprene boots devoured by the wolves. We surfed with a whale...

Even if the conditions are sometimes rough, changeable & unpredictable, we would not exchange our seats for a more classic destination. Cold weather, adventure & lack of comfort create lasting memories that only those who have experienced them can understand.

Our mind still shivers at the memory of these sessions, 
Our hands are still shaking at the frozen memory of that water.

I've Been shooting 3 days for Outremer for the delivery of the new boat of Elayna & Riley from Sailing la Vagabonde.

During one year I've been following Kito de Pavant's project for the vendée globe with Bastide-Otio

Here is the story from the beginning until the race start.

The first race of the boat since the Transat Jacques Vabres was the Rolex Giraglia with the team Made in Midi, then some modifications on the boat, and it was time to go to the Sables d'Olonnes, 

Unfortunatelly Kito had to stop this Vendée Globe after a collision with an UFO who broke his keel and open his boat,  he had to abandon his boat to the ocean.

Some work i did for the brand of sailing catamarans Outremer.

In may 2016 we went to Iceland to shoot the 2017 Manera wetsuits collection.

We went with camping car across iceland to get the best Kitesurfing conditions and surf when it was not windy enough.

Since 2015 I'm following riders of the team Sud de France on some different events, here is some work I did in 2016.

My Friend and colleague Pierre Bourras was busy working in Hawaii so he asked me to help him, and to shoot for "le souffle du nord" with Thomas Ruyant while the boat was in refit, getting ready for the Vendée Globe 2016-2017.
