Find your brand's soul in the mountains
A collective specialised in storytelling through film making and photography. Your brand is the personality of your business. Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to breathe life into it. When you tell a story that embodies human challenges, you create an experience that resonates with your customers. We are here to nurture and present those experiences.
We are based in the Southern French Alps, one of the most beautiful areas of the world. Between us we know every corner of this domain and a good deal beyond.
Working in the mountain environment can be a challenging experience but the rewards can be breathtaking.
Film Production
Help connect your brand to your audience by telling authentic stories. Lessen your stress by trusting a team with decades of experience with global brands. Whether you require content for your platforms, TV commercial, a crew for a feature film or high end commercial photography.
We cover everything from small commercial projects, sourcing a specific location or type of athlete through to full film productions. Specialising in lifestyle and sports in the mountains, Basecamp Media is a collective of award-winning film makers, photographers and producers.
Editorial Photography
Images which inspire, connect and tell stories. We help capture your brand in the grandeur of nature or alongside an adrenaline fuelled sport. We approach our photography with as much attention to detail
and rigorous production planning as our films. We cover the full spectrum of high end editorial, sports, landscape and commercial photography with limitless access to the most remote locations in the Alps.
Location Scouting
We can help source locations which fit your project perfectly. We specialise in the European Alps where we are based, with particular insights into the Haute-Alps region. We have an in-depth knowledge of the terrain and the local people who make the place tick. We are in the unique position of being able to source local expertise to cost effectively facilitate safety and access in line with client’s requirements.
Talent Scouting
Whether it be lifestyle models or an action sport athlete that look the part, we can help find the right talent for your project. We have a wide network and contact list of professionals covering a wide range of looks and sports.
