ABOUT

Behind
the Camera

Ten years documenting scientific expeditions and adventure journeys at the edges of the world.

My path is uncommon: I came to filmmaking through science.

Trained as a biologist at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, I realised I wanted not to do science, but to tell it. After a postgraduate degree in journalism at EJCAM, then film school in Paris, I started embarking on scientific expeditions — first as an on-board reporter, then as a cinematographer, and now as a director.

What I bring on a project is the convergence of three cultures: the rigour of the scientist, the craft of the journalist and the eye of the filmmaker. Whether on a racing yacht in a Pacific storm, a motorbike in Central Asia, or a drifting research station in the Arctic, my role is the same: capture what is happening, find the story that matters, and bring it back.

I am most at ease in remote, demanding environments — where production logistics break down and self-reliance becomes the rule.
