David, a film director & photographer, lives in Paris. He was lucky to be brought up in a house filled with arts.

His dad, a passionate photographer himself, offered him his first analog camera when David was a teenager (he thought it was too complicated and left it on his shelf for years). He’d watch mother paint watercolor and oil, which led him to take drawing lessons (he forgot about it all, although he once drew an almost-perfect copy of Songoku). His older brothers were either making DIY shortfilms (he’d watch the movies on repeat)with a Hi8 camera or playing the guitar (he got to learn perfectly how to play the main riff of Nirvana’s “Come As You Are”).

When he turned 18, his parents told him to get a real job in finance or insurances or else, instead of taking the artist path. But David was stubborn, although he should probably have listened to them, and hee made his dream come true a few years later.

After a decade of working as a photographer, and directing more than 20 music videos, people have been heard saying things like he has a strong emotional approach to photography & film directing, or that his work is too dark for commercial jobs. Overall, his work got some praise for his unique use of primary colors and light streaks, with hints of melancholy & dark humor.

David is currently working on his fourth shortfilm, “La Relève” (The Relief), which was selected at the St Quirin “Ecriture à l’image” Residency in 2021, and awarded the “Aide à l’Ecriture” by La Région Grand Est in 2024. It is due to be shot in 2026, if the world didn’t already burn by then.
