About David

Video director & corporate photographer – brand films, luxury & events

I help companies, institutions, and brands create strong, coherent images, both in photography and video, to enhance their identity and projects.

My approach combines visual excellence, technical rigor, and storytelling skills. I work on both small-scale productions and more ambitious projects, with a particular focus on lighting, pacing, and authenticity.

From defining needs to final delivery, I guide my clients with a clear methodology, smooth communication, and controlled deadlines.

Based in Nice, available in France and internationally depending on the project.
