This week, join the conversation with Christopher Wheatley, director of photography, living and working in Paris.

Chris grew up in France, although his family comes from all around the world. He started his career a few years ago, after studying filmmaking at university. He’s done a lot of work filming music videos, and recently worked on an upcoming feature film with an American director.

Chris told me to meet him at the Esplanade Vidal-Naquet, in the 13th arrondissement in Paris, by the seine. He warned me this part of Paris tends to get windy before we met up, and you immediately understand why when you get there : the streets are wider than other parts of paris, with long open spaces and plenty of room for pedestrians. We were amongst big university buildings and the BNF’s impressive campus for most of the stroll. It felt like we were taking a break for the hustle of the city.

Throughout our stroll, we talked about filming for music videos, the stories cinemas carry, and taking ego out of the filmmaking process.

A word about me:
