What they say about our services
These two shoots in Ecuador with a team of super pros were a fantastic experience. Everything was perfect, from the editorial to the transport and even the end-of-shoot dinner in an ancient Inca temple in the middle of a hacienda where traces of Von Humboldt’s passage can still be seen….. Xavier is an outstanding naturalist and a leader of men who knows how to find solutions when nothing goes right. Out of a series of 35 documentaries, Xavier and his team’s fixing is in the top 3 !!!! Many thanks to them … the only thing they didn’t count on was altitude sickness…. They can’t do everything !!!!
