Vive la vie.

Vive la vie. is my own series, a personal project I created and produce from end to end. It sits between a podcast and a documentary: a real conversation, filmed with the same cinematic standard I bring to my commercial work. Each episode is an encounter with someone devoured by a single passion.

The Vision

The world celebrates balance. This series celebrates the extreme. I sit down with magnificent obsessives, an acrobat, a pianist, an Olympic fencer, pastry chefs and chefs, and try to understand where the fire comes from, how they got there, and what it costs to chase perfection. The interview carries the meaning, the images give it a body.

Execution

Every episode is an artisanal production, and my own visual laboratory. I film in each person's world, a studio, a kitchen, a training hall, and treat light, sound and framing with no compromise, so a conversation reads like a film. It is also how I keep sharpening my eye, making beautiful images across very different settings, again and again. The full series lives at vivelavie.media.
