CSR Charter
I grew up in the countryside, in a small village, surrounded by my grandparents. My grandfather was—and still is—a passionate birdwatcher and nature lover, and he keeps bees in his spare time. From a very young age, I learned to observe, to respect the cycles of nature, and to understand just how precious our environment is.
This closeness to nature has shaped my sensibility and my way of seeing the world. It continues to influence my work as a videographer and photographer, and fuels a sincere desire: to practice my craft responsibly, mindful of its impact, however modest it may be.
This charter is intended for those who value these principles and wish to work with professionals who are mindful of the social and environmental challenges of today and tomorrow.
Reducing my digital and
material footprint
Since digital technology is an integral part of my work, I try to minimize its impact as much as possible.
-
I deliberately limit my use of artificial intelligence, as I am aware of its high energy consumption.
-
My website is designed to be as minimalist as possible: it contains no unnecessary animations or heavy elements that would unnecessarily slow down its loading time.
-
For all administrative documents related to my business (invoices, quotes, contracts, etc.), I always opt for digital delivery.
-
For my printed marketing materials (such as business cards), I choose FSC®-certified paper and pay special attention to the quality and durability of the prints.
-
When it comes to my photography and video equipment, I keep it for as long as possible. I only replace it when its technical capabilities no longer meet professional standards, not for so-called “gimmicky” features.
-
My digital galleries are hosted for a limited time. The files are then stored locally for three years, in accordance with the terms of the agreements, so that you can retrieve them in case of loss.
Minimizing the impact
of my travel
Travel is part of my job, but I plan and optimize my trips carefully.
-
Whenever possible, I prefer to use public transportation (train, subway).
-
For my projects, it’s important to me to have a personal connection: I’d like to meet with you in person at least once. We can continue our discussions however you prefer or whatever works best for you: by phone, video call, or in person.
-
When you need recommendations for other service providers, I always prioritize local providers. I also prioritize small businesses.
Choosing projects and collaborations that align
with my values
In addition to projects for individuals, I carefully select the companies, organizations, and institutions with which I collaborate.
I prioritize projects that promote values essential to the world of tomorrow, including:
-
innovative initiatives to combat plastic pollution in aquatic environments,
-
craft-based trades and businesses,
-
organizations that highlight committed, local, and responsible stakeholders,
-
and organizations that incorporate a strong and consistent CSR approach.

This CSR approach is an evolving one. It reflects my current beliefs and my commitment to continually improving, in my own way, toward practices that are more respectful of the environment and people.
