Adrelanine was born and grew up in Paris, where he has always been attracted by the gritty aspect of the city, the graffitis, the metro system, and the entire urban environment.
After a trip to the West Coast of the United States, he kept taking pictures and documenting the life around him. With the rise of social media and Instagram, he got inspired to explore his city even more, and discovered a new way to see Paris, from its grey metallic rooftops. He then spent 3 years learning more about the technique behind a photo and videos at “Gobelins, l’Ecole de l’Image”. While at school, he started working freelance and got jobs from Nike, PSG, Instagram France, Warner, Universal Music France and many more, as photographer / retoucher / graphic designer / video director. His personal style is now 100% focused on film photography and its grainy aspect that makes his photos look so raw, keeping the urban style that got him into photography. Adre is a really passionate person, always willing to go the extra mile to make a project better. Great teacher, giving away his knowledge on social media with his podcasts and stories, he’s always pushing to do more.
“Everything is temporary. Not capturing certain moments would literally feel like wasting my life, contemplating it instead of fully living it. I want to document it, from the happiest moments to the saddests,
and have my work be remembered for what I tried to make it represent : life in the truest way possible”
