Experience and Background

Involved in visual creation for 20 years. After training in international commerce, Bruno Houdayer soon realized that creative work particularly inspired him, whether in merchandising or in the direction of corporate audiovisual projects.

He began his artistic career as an apprentice, working in the field of decoration, assisting Véronique Delacour of the Alvérone agency in the creation of luxury window displays, and Pierre Euzen in events management.

He learned the techniques of still photography by working alongside two photographers: Jean-Charles Recht (cosmetics and perfumes) and Stefan Kraus (luxury hotels).
