L’Œil des Cyclopes

Corporate Photography & Video Production

Provence & the French Riviera, and further afield

Based near Toulon, L’Œil des Cyclopes is the photography and visual production studio I founded, dedicated to corporate photography and company reportage, and to the visual communication of hotels, brands and wine estates, in Provence and on the French Riviera. I bring to it my eye as an author photographer, and I also work throughout France and abroad.

I handle every project from start to finish, as your single point of contact: understanding your objectives, art direction, photography, delivery. This direct involvement means consistent images, quick turnaround and a straightforward working relationship.

At the heart of it all: bringing to light the people behind your projects, your places and your expertise.

What’s included:

  • photography;
  • editing, meaning the selection and sequencing of images into a coherent series;
  • processing and retouching;
  • usage rights, digital and print, in France and internationally;
  • on request, fine art prints and framing.

Corporate photography, reconsidered

Corporate photography, yes, but without formulaic visuals or rigid conventions. Every reportage and every portrait is designed to reveal what makes your organisation itself: its identity, its values, its particular energy.

I believe a company image should go beyond convention to say who you really are: strong, authentic, meaningful images that serve your communication for years. With L’Œil des Cyclopes, corporate photography becomes human.

Areas of expertise

Corporate reportage
Your trades, your expertise, your company culture: images that show the people behind the organisation and the work as it is actually done.

Portraiture
Executives, staff, artists, craftspeople. I work mostly in natural light, softer and truer: it is one of my signatures.

Tourism and place
Several years with Provence Méditerranée, the Toulon metropolitan tourism board, with the CCIFM (Italian Chamber of Commerce for France in Marseille) and with clients abroad have given me real expertise in destination marketing.

Cultural events and festivals
Festivals and events connected with nature and ecology. My experience at the Cannes Soundtrack Festival and the Porquerolles Film Festival allows me to capture the energy and key moments of an event, discreetly.

Architecture, hospitality, interiors
Places, spaces, atmospheres: architectural photography, reportage for boutique hotels, tourism, restaurants and wine estates.

Film, music, dance
Set photography, film festivals, portraits of artists, exhibitions: documentary work in the service of memory and creation.

Video, drone and post-production
Photography is at the heart of L’Œil des Cyclopes. For projects that call for a broader audiovisual approach, I work with independent specialist collaborators in video production, aerial drone photography and post-production. Working together, we deliver a coherent visual response from concept to delivery, and you keep a single point of contact: me.

Corporate Photography & Video Production in Provence & the French Riviera

L’Œil des Cyclopes is based in Le Pin de Galle, a small fishermen’s cove near Toulon, and I also have professional offices in Toulon, where I can welcome clients. I know this region and its light intimately, and it shows in the images.

I work in Toulon and its surroundings, Hyères, La Seyne-sur-Mer, Six-Fours and La Valette, along the coast from Bandol to Saint-Tropez, in the eastern Var (Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, Draguignan), in Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Nice and Cannes, across the French Riviera and its hinterland.

And beyond the region, anywhere in France and abroad.

Clients who trust me

Cultural institutions, companies, regional organisations. Selected clients:

Very different worlds, the same standards.

Why L’Œil des Cyclopes?

An author’s eye
My background is in authored and documentary photography. Your corporate reportage gains a depth that standardised images lack: it tells your story.

A direct relationship
One point of contact: you work with me directly, from concept to delivery, including when specialist collaborators join for video or drone work.

Deep local knowledge
Based in Provence for many years, I know its light, its places and its business community.
