  • Brand films, interviews, venue tours and event videos.
  • Carefully lit images and versions for your website and social media.

A videographer for your productions
in Montreux and across the Riviera

À Montreux, la lumière du Léman, les quais fréquentés, les hôtels, les salles de concert et les vignobles de Lavaux demandent des préparations différentes. Je définis le dispositif selon le lieu, les horaires, le public présent et le calendrier événementiel de la Riviera.

Nearby areas covered

  • Montreux, Clarens, Territet, Veytaux, Villeneuve and Chillon Castle.
  • Vaud Riviera: Vevey, La Tour-de-Peilz, Corseaux, Blonay, Saint-Légier and Lavaux.
  • Lausanne, Aigle, Villars-sur-Ollon, Gstaad and nearby resorts, depending on the project.

Projects I film in the area

Event films, content for hotels and venues, tourism and heritage films, artist or executive interviews, premium event coverage, social media content and high-end wedding productions around the lake. For residences, hotels and exceptional properties, explore my real estate photo and video production in French-speaking Switzerland.

Drone, access and logistics

Shoots on the Riviera need to account for waterfront access, visitor traffic, hotel logistics, vineyard areas and mountain weather. For drone work, I check local restrictions and populated areas, and plan ground-based or long-lens alternatives when a flight is not appropriate.

Production guarantees

A clear framework before, during and after filming

Every project is prepared within a professional framework: location constraints, safety, usage rights, delivery formats and the schedule are clarified before production begins.

As a professional drone pilot, I check flight zones, local restrictions, weather, required authorisations and ground-based alternatives when flying is not appropriate.

Each shoot is planned with safety in mind: location checks, access, permissions, suitable equipment and professional insurance for work with companies, agencies and venues.

Brief, recce, shot list, filming, editing, colour grading, graphics and exports: each step is structured to remove uncertainty and keep the project moving smoothly.

Delivery formats, editing timelines, included feedback rounds, social media versions and usage rights are set out in the quote, so the intended use of the video is clear from the start.
