"Hello! I’m Gilles — fixer, location scout and location manager — working in the production world for over 20 years.

Based in the Paris area, close to Normandy and Brittany, I regularly work across the whole of France — from the mountains to the sea, covering cities well known but also secret places.

Thanks to my experience and network of contacts, I can handle permitting efficiently — quickly and at the best rates.

I constantly update my location database with new spots from all around France: roads, modern buildings, and of course, every type of landscape the country has to offer.

Waiting for your call, cheers!"

Victor Boccard is a French photographer and film director based between Paris and Tokyo. Trained in cinema, he began in performance before turning to filmmaking and later photography, developing a visual language rooted in atmosphere, symbolism, and emotional restraint. A defining trip to Japan in his youth created a lasting bond with Asia and a sense of in-between-ness that continues to shape his work across cultures and disciplines.

He shoots primarily on Hasselblad, favoring a slow, composed process that combines analog and digital techniques to create images of quiet intensity — figures held in stillness against layered, often chaotic environments.

Victor has directed and photographed campaigns and editorials for clients such as Chanel, Rimowa, Louboutin, LVMH Métiers d’Art, Nowness Asia, Tatler HK, and GQ France. He just collaborated with singer Mikah for Isabel Marant during PFW26. He is currently developing a narrative film project between France and Japan, continuing his exploration of displacement, beauty.

Based in London since 2019, he has produced campaigns and commissions across the UK, the Middle East, North America, and Asia. Over more than a decade of image-making, Connor has developed a distinctive style that reflects his love of people, culture, travel, and storytelling.

His clients include AMAN, British Vogue, Ralph Lauren, Jumeirah, Loro Piana, and Audemars Piguet, alongside collaborations with charities in Mozambique, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

Moving fluidly between commercial and documentary work, he brings the same attention to detail and narrative approach whether creating imagery for global luxury brands or grassroots organisations.

With a background shaped by travel and an enduring interest in human connection, Connor continues to build a practice that balances commercial commissions with personal projects, producing work defined by curiosity, clarity, and a strong sense of place.

Connor is represented by NM Productions.
