About David

Trained at the Louis Lumière school, I have worked in various sectors (fiction, documentary, corporate, music videos, commercials, dance, fashion...) and depending on your needs and budget, I can handle all stages of production myself (writing, shooting, editing, color grading, sound mixing), or assemble a team of trusted collaborators for more ambitious projects.

Formerly a yoga instructor, my personal practice favors intimate portraits of people, with a contemplative, sensitive, or spiritual dimension. If not through the subject of the video, I will strive to achieve this through rhythm, sound atmosphere, and images that evoke the inner and subtle world. I also have a long history as a musician and particularly enjoy music-related projects.

Filming rate: €550/day + technical expenses*
Post-production rate: €450/day
