Nicolas Davenel and Vanessa Dumont are a creative duo based in Paris, bringing together a multidisciplinary cocktail of complementary skills. Adopting a diversified approach to their craft, the duo blends the best of CINEMA, PHOTOGRAPHY, ART DIRECTION, WRITING, MUSIC COMPOSITION, and LIVE STAGING.
Their work reflects this hybridity and is a testament to their bespoke process—always deploying the most relevant tools to best share the story. Having collaborated on content for brands such as Nike, Adidas, Cartier, Yves Saint-Laurent, L’Oréal, Lancôme Prada, and Comme des Garçons, Nicolas and Vanessa’s work has achieved global reach and has been praised for its unique signature. They have staged a fashion show for Adidas at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, a series of concerts for Eddy de Pretto at L’Élysée Montmartre, and a live show at Place Vendôme for Cartier. Their short film ‘Le Grand Saut’ (2019) was officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival, and the duo has directed several standout music videos for artists such as KCPK, Brodinski, and Birdy Nam Nam. In addition to directing music videos, they also compose their own music for their commercial and fiction projects. In 2022, the duo released a documentary for Apple TV and Redbull about the final season of WRC world champion Sébastien Ogier, also available on Canal+.
More recently, in 2024, Nicolas and Vanessa had the opportunity to document the meeting between Jake Gyllenhaal and the team of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli boat as part of the perfume promotion.
