About me

Camille NIEL

WHO IS THIS GUY?

After completing my studies in Cinema and working 10 years as a technician on films then on television, I have made the decision to pursue my passion of photography.

At 28, I started to travel (it’s never to late !) and discovered the photography at the same time. During my adventures, into cities or into the wild, I mostly capture fleeting moments. Sometimes, I take the time to compose and create the shot I imagine.

A mountain and a snow lover, they are the kind of environment within which I feel comfortable to express my art. I aim to excel in myself, physically and artistically, always trying to find original views.

What is most important for me is the weight of my backpack, I always try to be as light as I can. That’s why I chose a full frame hybrid camera: an Alpha 7, which is my workhorse and I still use until today.
