Hey, I’m Pépin Struye. If you went through the website, you kind of understood who I am, so maybe I shouldn’t be too precise in this section. But still, I’ll tell you some. I grew up in Brussels, then lived in the US, Paris, Casablanca, Italy and I’m now based in Paris & Brussels (living in the Eurostar). Growing up in Belgium and spending my high school senior year in the US, I am trilingual Dutch, French and English and my Italian is fluent.

As shooting abroad and in foreign languages are my favorite things to do, I am developing my career a bit everywhere. I have had the chance to shoot in Italy, USA, UK, Hungary, Jordan, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Senegal, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Spain, Croatia, France, Morocco and Belgium already, I’m hoping for many more to come.

I learnt my craft working mostly in the Music Video (Amaarae, Sen Senra, Iliona, Saint Levant, Ziak, Ninho, Hamza, SDM, …) and Commercial industry for a few years, with clients such as YSL, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Courrèges, Telfar, BMW Motorrad, Tokyo Paralympic Games.

Since 2021, when I was offered to photograph my first feature film in Italy, I moved on to more Narrative work. A year later, I shot my first large scale feature, All Time High, for Netflix, in France. 2024 has been quite busy so far with two feature films, All The Time, by Amélie Derlon Cordina, and On Vous Croit, by Charlotte Devillers and Arnaud Dufeys. I am currently prepping for my fifth feature, with director Mickaël Noyau and produced by Rectangle & Frakas.

Let’s shoot nice and creative pieces together!

Pépin.
