Guillaume Beaudoin. cinematographer, Director.

Guillaume Beaudoin began his journey in sports filming in the early 2000s. After winning a video contest in 2008, he launched his career as a freelance director of photography. His work has taken him to over 70 countries, where he has photographed and directed various projects, including music videos, commercial films, documentaries, and TV shows. Regardless of the assignment, his mission as a Director of Photography is to create images that not only convey a story but also evoke the viewer’s intuition in subtle ways.

In 2017, Guillaume embarked on a remarkable 7-month journey, hitchhiking by sail, to collect film stories from locals who were taking initiatives in the fight against climate change. Following this adventure, he joined forces with Boyan Slat for the deployment of the Ocean Cleanup system in the North Pacific Garbage patch—a significant undertaking that marked his third ocean crossing in just three years. The resulting documentary is was released in 2020.

Guillaume’s aerial filming expertise predates the era of drones; he started with para-motors and helicopters. Over the years, he has accumulated thousands of hours of drone flights across the globe. From capturing footage near the Great Pyramids to documenting the tribes of Vanuatu and tackling challenging offshore aerial shots. Regardless of the project type, he consistently delivers images that encapsulate the essence of the assignment in a creative and impactful way.

For the past two years, Guillaume has been working as an underwater cinematographer for TV5 Monde. His work spans fiction, advertisements, and documentary projects. Whether filming humpback whales, bull sharks, or diving for macro shots at night, he brings his expertise to the underwater world. His certifications include PADI rescue diver, PADI deep dive, PADI Nitrox, and Bosiet offshore certified FALCK.
