About Theo

Professional photographer and videographer based in Biarritz,I specialize in the world of surfing, surfwear, and outdoor projects.
My visual approach combines analog 35mm and Super 8 shots with high-end digital production. I create authentic, organic images inspired by surf culture.

Skills & Specialties:
• Analog photography: 35mm, Super 8, vintage rendering, and 70s-80s aesthetic.
• Professional digital photography: fashion, products, lifestyle, editorial.
• Aquatic shooting: complete equipment for underwater shoots (surfing/action).
• Aerial (drone): drone videos and photos for commercial or artistic projects.
• Social media content: regular content production for social networks (reels, campaigns, visual storytelling).
• Social media management: strategy, planning, editorial line creation.

Types of Projects:
• Surf shoots for brands, athletes, or schools.
• Surfwear or outdoor campaigns.
• Content creation for social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube).
• Video production for small and large organizations (ads, brand content, documentaries).
• Collaboration on larger productions: team, scouting, planning, post-production.

Why work together?
I am committed to delivering visuals that are consistent with your brand identity, while bringing a strong artistic dimension rooted in Basque surf culture. Flexible, responsive, and accustomed to working in demanding conditions, I can handle both fast-paced, agile projects and more complex productions.
