At the age of 10, he discovers free diving. He becomes scuba diving instructor and started to teach free diving in 1991. He sets his 1st world record in 1995 and then decides to dedicate his life to freediving. He achieves three more world records between 1997 and 2000. In 1999, Fred passes the100m’s mythical barrier on one breath of air, being the 8th person to do so. In 2002, he starts underwater photography to show the beauty of freediving and the underwater world. Fred comes from an artistic background. His great grand father was a pioneer of photography in the 1890’, his grand father was a painter and his father a photographer during the 1960’. His work shows these various influences. To take his pictures and videos Fred uses a simple formula: the water, available light, a camera and one breath of air, nothing more, nothing less. A freediver is able to capture unique moments thanks to his simple equipment and ease of movement where light logistics makes all the difference. What makes Fred’s photography different from any other underwater photography is his zen and minimalistic approach. Concerned by conservation and environmental issues for many years, in 2005 he started to work with marine biologists around the world. He uses his freediving skills and provide practical knowledge with large animals to perform tasks such as acoustic and satellite tagging or DNA sampling. During these missions, Fred documents the field work to contribute to conservation on a larger scale through talks and conferences. Numerous NGO’s are using his material for their conservation campaigns. His approach to conservation is rather practical and realistic. Impact on wildlife and carbon footprint has to be the primary concern for someone who wants to make a difference.
