Surf Retreat
As a photographer and videographer, I’ve had the privilege of participating in numerous surf camps and retreats across the globe, including Indonesia, Fuerteventura, and South Africa. Collaborating with content creators, I work to bring their visions to life.
Specializing in these events, my extensive experience and passion for storytelling enable me to capture the unique atmosphere and energy that make each retreat truly special. I naturally integrate into groups, fostering genuine connections that allow me to document moments in a more authentic and immersive way.
Whether it’s capturing the adrenaline of catching waves or the quiet moments of reflection, I aim to create visual narratives that resonate deeply. My goal is to not only preserve these fleeting moments but also to craft content that inspires others, connects with audiences, and brings each story to life in an authentic and creative way.

"I can honestly say I’ve never met a more passionate photographer and person than François. He helped create content for my recent surf camp, and his dedication was on another level. He never stopped working, constantly capturing every moment in the most authentic way. What really blew me away was how he became the heart and soul of the group, not just doing his job, but going above and beyond anything I could’ve imagined.
His footage is absolutely incredible—so raw, real, and full of emotion. His editing style is magical. He tells the story so naturally, with just the right balance of creativity and simplicity, keeping everything real and unfiltered. The photos and videos he delivered were way beyond what I could have ever imagined. My surf camp page has never looked as amazing as it does now!
I truly didn’t want to see him go. If he ever wants to work with me again, he’s welcome back with open arms. His energy, talent, and personality are a gift to any project. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a talented and genuine photographer and videographer."
