"It's always a mix of feelings. It really is the best job in the world, but so much depends on who you're traveling with and who the client is. It can get very stressful if the conditions aren't right or if the people around you aren't a good fit. At the end of the day, though, there aren't many jobs where you get paid to explore the world-so complaining would suck!"
"I don't think I would take photos if it weren't for the adventure-whether in the mountains or anywhere else in the world. And of course it's beautiful and quiet up there!!"
"For some reason, I've always felt more connected to skate photographers-people like Brian Gaberman, Sem Rubio, French Fred, or Mike O'Meally, to name just a few. At the same time, my good friends Carlos Blanchard, Aaron Schwartz, and Silvano Zeiter have also had a huge influence on me."
A photographer traces their journey from discovering film development in a friend's father's basement darkroom at 14-15 years old, initially photographing skateboarding friends during French competitions. They transitioned into professional photography, primarily shooting snowboarding and mountain adventures. While describing their work as the best job in the world, they acknowledge it involves significant stress depending on conditions, clients, and travel companions. The mountains attract them primarily for the adventure and exploration opportunities rather than just aesthetic beauty. Their photographic influences stem largely from skate photographers like Brian Gaberman and Sem Rubio, alongside close friends and collaborators who continue inspiring them throughout their career.
