biography

Romain Claris, born in 1983 in Cannes, discovered his passion for imagery at a young age during a trip to Niger in 1995. Fascinated by the filming of the movie Imûhar in the middle of the desert, he turned to photography, initially exploring black-and-white before transitioning to color.
He purchased his first digital camera by selling poetry collections at the Bordeaux train station and, starting in 2000, began creating his first very short films, including Infini in Spain and Real Trip in New York. In 2004, he worked as a cameraman for artist James Coleman on the Lisbon Project, produced by Les Films d’Ici.
Graduating with honors in 2005 from the Conservatoire Libre du Cinéma Français, he founded the video department at the communication agency Claris image builder, where he directed approximately 500 films for the luxury sector.
