Valentin Nauton

IN A FEW WORDS

I am a director and photographer. My core passion: telling STORIES. Writing them on paper, bringing them to life in images and sound. Putting a bit of boldness back at the heart of the image. And that's fortunate, because we all love stories.

The impact of an image, a film, no matter the field, relies on an essential element: the CLARITY of the message to be conveyed and its TRANSCRIPTION into an audiovisual format, particularly through writing and the adoption of a certain aesthetic. This is where you make the difference, this is where I support you.

My journey has led me from preparatory classes for top business schools (Audencia) and engineering schools (Centrale Nantes), from Julien Gracq's novels to digital marketing and the theory of design materials, from fintech to the coworking world and then to audiovisual production.

WHAT CAN I OFFER YOU?

A curious and synthetic mind that quickly grasps artistic, strategic, or business challenges to bring them to life visually.

MY AREAS OF ACTIVITY

I have particularly strong experience in directing formats within the corporate world, through my experience at Welcome to the Jungle: there, I interviewed and photographed over 400 people, from startup founders (Les Petits Frenchies, FAGUO, etc.) to senior executives of major groups (Coca Cola Europe, TBS, BNP Paribas, BforBank, Heineken). 

Today, I handle directing & art direction for formats in the fashion world, product in general, performing arts (music & theater in particular), and documentaries.

NEED A TEAM?

Depending on the project's scope, I can provide you with a full production team that I have recruited: camera operators, editors, photographers, assistants, composers, sound engineers, motion designers, and even actors.
