ABOUT
MAXIME HORLAVILLE
PHOTOGRAPHER, DIRECTOR AND DRONE PILOT
A creative journey
I started with architecture, focusing on lines, symmetry and urban atmospheres, before shifting toward more human and dynamic subjects.
Today, I create images that combine strong composition with action, narrative and real environments.
My work is centered around ocean-based and expedition projects, creative brand content and performance-driven teams, from offshore racing and documentaries to commercial campaigns.
I work across photography and film, in demanding conditions, as well as in controlled environments where light, material and visual direction shape high-end product and brand imagery.
My work is built on a constant balance between capturing the unpredictability of real moments and shaping images through light, composition and precision. Between instinct and intention, I aim to seize action as it unfolds, while maintaining a controlled visual language defined by structure, lines and symmetry.
