Cyril Masson
Photographer & Film Director
Founder of BLACK DEER Productions
Playing ball with Mickael Jordan, or scuba-diving with Buzz Aldrin, I couldn’t imagine when I started Photography all the great opportunities I’ll have in my career.
I’ve played tennis with Rafaël Nadal in an empty swimming pool, made jokes with Kylian MBappe as he was still unknown, sat on the roof of Grand-Palais with Kobe Bryant to meditate, shot Serena Williams on the Eiffel Tower, Travis Scott at Lincoln Center…
The natural evolution of my work led me to filmmaking and directing, in addition to Photography. I’m lucky enough to work for such iconic brands as Nike, Lacoste, Adidas, Dior, Tag Heuer, Jordan, Levi’s, Netflix… and so many others. Beyond my photographic and film directing skills, the brands call me for my ability to create an instant connection with the people I’m shooting, a safe zone where they can express themselves as they truly are. 90% of my portfolio is shot in less than 10minutes with celebrities which are constantly solicited, so the key is to get them onboard in a second and create together the best shot possible on the moment.
