His Journey
Photography has always played a central role in Charlie's life. From the age of 4, he was already seen with an old Agfamatic in his hands. At 15, he truly began his self-taught journey, exploring all available media to enrich his photographic culture and develop his skills.
Passionate about 80s Hollywood action cinema and Japanese animation, Charlie strived to capture atmospheres and emotions, whether in his daily life or in street scenes. He played with situations and light to create unique compositions.
At 17, video naturally came to complement his artistic universe. He then oriented his higher education towards a "Performing Arts" degree at the University of Lorraine in Metz, from 2015 to 2020. During this period, he alternated between years of study, civic service, and a gap year to develop his associative projects (student web TV, reporting at film festivals, including Cannes) and his audiovisual production micro-enterprise.
Although he became a videographer, it's cinema and particularly fiction filmmaking that fascinates him the most, with a predilection for the genres of fantasy and science fiction.
From Video to Set Photography
The diversity of film shoots Charlie participated in awakened in him a desire to deepen his understanding of professional productions. What better position than that of a set photographer to realize this aspiration?
Thanks to his network and the appreciation of his work as a videographer by various production companies, he had the opportunity to collaborate on several projects as a set photographer. His sensitivity, discretion, interpersonal skills, and passion for cinema allowed him to present work that appealed to directors and film crews.
Vision of the Profession
As a set photographer, Charlie strives to capture the director's intention as closely as possible. His goal is to bring a unique perspective to each project, ensuring a visual identity that is both aesthetic and effective for the film's communication. He contributes notably to the design of posters and creates precious memories for the film crew.
His ambition is to continue evolving in this exciting universe, bringing his singular vision through set photography. Each new project is an opportunity for him to take on new creative challenges and capture the very essence of cinema in the making.
