Professional photographer and director, JC has visited over 60 countries to produce photo and video reports. A former BMX freestyle professional, with a degree in finance and a master's in sport events from KEDGE, and creator of sport and music festivals, his career is highly atypical, with over 15 years' experience in the world of images.

With over 152k followers on Instagram, networking has been a great strength for him. In addition to his many activities, he shares all his knowledge and tips in his online Photo & Video training course shot and performed around the globe.

"In 2019, I took a trip to Madagascar that turned my whole outlook upside down. It was time to carry out projects that serve and not just projects for myself or for clients. I'd already managed to put the spotlight on people and children in Madagascar, and now I wanted to do the same with animals, because I'm passionate about them.

A guide friend of mine, Valentin Davis, suggested I go on safari with him. I wanted to go with him, but I wanted to do more than a "simple" safari. So I suggested that we produce a documentary together, and that's what we did. I self-produced this project 100%, and went with my team to Kenya to shoot it for 13 days."
