CLUB MED
In the heart of the Alps, this photo shoot captures the power of movement and the adrenaline of elite skiing. Between daring descents, bold jumps, and breathtaking landscapes, Tignes becomes the perfect playground to showcase performance and style.

ROSMO
In the lineage of air-cooled performance, every component is shaped through iteration, refinement, and time. Julien brings these elements into stillness, where their surfaces and construction reflect a deeper pursuit of balance.
What remains is a quieter form of intensity, one that defines the experience before ignition.

GRAND PRIX CYCLISTES
This series explores the vibrant world of the Grand Prix Cyclistes de Montréal and Québec through images that capture the intensity of the race, the precision of the riders’ movements, and the collective energy of the peloton.
Between explosive sprints, moments of focus, and shared camaraderie, each photo reveals a fragment of cycling life. Tight framing, plays of blur, and iconic urban settings convey the tension of movement in an environment where elite sport meets city life.

ROSSIGNOL
“When a rider throws out wild ideas on set (because it’s not his first rodeo), it’s truly a gift. That creative back-and-forth makes the shoot easy and truly collaborative. Loved shooting Jonah Williams on the new Sender 100 from Rossignol in Tignes!”

ARGON18 - NITROGEN PRO
Blending exploration and creation, that’s where the magic happens. With the Nitrogen Pro, the images are crafted to feel as fast and refined as the bike itself: sculpted light, deep shadows, and subtle motion conveying speed, lightness, fit, and ride optimization, all in a single frame.

NORDA 005
For this project, Norda wanted to explore three themes: breathability, lightness, and durability. The brand was looking for a fresh visual approach—one that would stand apart from trends and position the 005 launch as a significant milestone for Norda.
Fun fact: some images initially intended as tests ended up becoming final visuals. All effects were created directly during the shoot.

CIELE ATHLETICS
Running doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. For Ciele’s NiteRite fall collection, the brief was to capture true visibility in motion—showing reflective gear performing in real running conditions. Reflective materials don’t simply light up with a flash; their effect shifts with every change in angle, distance, and light intensity.
With multiple runners in frame, balancing realism and impact was essential. The goal was to preserve raw, authentic energy while letting the gear shine exactly as designed.

NORDA
For this shoot with Norda, the images highlight the sculptural quality of the shoe: the texture of the Vibram sole, the sleek woven upper, and the vibrant contrast of color against a bold monochrome backdrop. The result is a clean, graphic composition that emphasizes both performance and design.

ARGON18
Elegance, according to Argon 18: A colored gel was used to create a harmonious atmosphere that highlights the clean lines and refined geometry of the frame.
A playful yet complex production that required great precision to ensure the perfect alignment of every element.
