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, 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.

In 2019, I had the idea of moving to places I thought would be interesting for my work. My first stop was Casablanca, Morocco, in 2020. Next stops are,hopefully, NYC, Stockholm, Montreal and the list goes on. I have had the chance to shoot in Italy, USA, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Senegal, The Netherlands, Spain, Croatia, France, Morocco and Belgium already, I hope many more will come.

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

Let’s shoot nice and creative pieces together!

Pépin.
