Laurent Pujol :
underwater cameraman

A visual odyssey in the service of the ocean. This is what the photographer and
cinematographer Laurent Pujol offers. A proper dive into the heart of the curves made by the
encounters.
Highly skilled and recognized surfer at first, then outstanding underwater photographer for
years, it is as well now through film making than Laurent express an undeniable talent and a unique
sensitivity. And it is with a wealth of a strong taste for abnegation that he leads his ship : used to
face the Pipeline dantesque tubes with a board under his feets, he doesn't hesitate to show behind
the camera an immense boldness. This is its strength. Armed with his water housing, he makes
extreme choices as cameraman and director of photography that offer a singular and totally new
vision of his environment.
All-round and polyvalent artist, Laurent Pujol takes care of the whole audiovisual
production process, from filming to video editing and post production. In this way, each object he
releases, photo or video, is mastered from one end to the other, and intimately born from his strong
experience with the sea. In this way each adventure is within the ambit of a master that is as high as
the rigor claimed by the ocean.
So, it is wearing two hats – the underwater camera operator one and the surfer one – than
Laurent, how's living between Hossegor, Seignosse and Capbreton, has been giving to himself for a
mission to catch the trajectories, the curves and the colors. To pass on the stories that are being tell
in front of his eyes. The result is as close as possible to his subject, but to himself too. His surfing
videos and photos testify to a visceral and communicative passion. An invitation to the travel. No
more, no less.
