Professional photographer and Director, JC Pieri has travelled to more than 60 countries to do photo and video coverage. Former BMX freestyle professional, holding a degree in finance and a Master in sporting events at KEDGE, and creator of sports and music events, his career has been very unconventional as and includes more than 15 years of experience in the world of imaging.

With over 152k followers on Instagram, social media has been a great resource for him. In addition to his many ventures, he shares all his knowledge and tips in his online photography and video courses shot and performed around the globe.

“In 2019, I took a trip to Madagascar that turned my whole perspective upside down. It was a time when I did projects that were meaningful, not just projects for myself or clients. I had already succeeded in highlighting the plight of people and children in Madagascar, and now I wanted to do the same with animals because it fuels my sense of passion.

A friend of mine who is a guide, Valentin Davis offered to take me on a safari with him. I wanted to go with him but wanted to do more than just a "simple" safari. So, I suggested that we make a documentary together and that's what we did. I self-produced the project and spent 13 days with my team in Kenya shooting the film.”
