Elisa Vaillant

I grew up with a small pink camera and an MP3 player full of music. Today, I am an art director and photographer, and these two obsessions have never left me. My career path was built between Lyon and Paris. After a Bachelor's degree in advertising creation, I decided to start my Master's degree from scratch at an art school; I needed to broaden my perspective and deepen what truly motivated me. I completed my Master's degree in art direction and brand strategy in Paris. I explored different environments between agencies, production, and cultural media. From photo assistance on fashion shoots to art direction for leather goods and spirits brands, where I managed the communication and creation team. In parallel, I developed a freelance practice on visual identity, photo shoots, and campaigns. I enjoy creating coherent visual universes, directing photo shoots with intention, and building brand identities that tell a story. My work is nourished by cinema, music (my vinyl collection is constantly growing), exhibitions, and reading. A curiosity that takes me everywhere and always ends up enriching my vision.
