BEFORE BIKES
Before shooting bikes, I used to create looping images in the form of .gif files from videos I took.
I created a lot of images for myself, and a few brands were interested in having some with their products, so for a few years that’s what I did, as a freelance photographer for a few years.
I didn’t really know much stuff about cameras, video or photography, so I started to shoot my friends and their bikes to get some training But it was too much paperwork, which I’m terrible at, so it only lasted a few years, then I stopped.
All of this is behind me now, I’m now a bike mechanic. But I kept shooting bikes, I don’t really know why.
Here's an idea of what I was up to:
Personnal work:
Commissioned work:
Canal+ Versailles (TV series advertising).
Those loops could be seen on social media, and displayed on screens in train stations and metro.
Chanel × Grazia.
Loops made for an anniversary watch.
Bouygues Telecom.

This was a series of loops made for ASUS and their very silent laptop (I only have one image left, but there were many).
CIC bank.
A series of “funny” images created for the French bank “CIC”.
eJust.
Loops created for an online lawyer service.
GreyGoose vodka.
A cocktail based on vodka and coffee, to be enjoyed with a chocolate pastry.
Kenzo - Eau de Lumière.
Mercure Hotels.
This was a chat bot created for Mercure hotels, which was replying to people with these images.
Mette Henriette.
These images were shot during a musical performance by Mette Henriette Martedatter Rølvåg, a performing artist, saxophonist, band leader and composer from Norway, filmed on a remote island in Norway.
Petit Bateau.
