Hi, I’m Florent, the photographer behind FloTography.
From Hospitality to Photography
Working in those environments taught me to stay calm under pressure, read what is happening around me, anticipate what might happen next and pay attention to the smallest details. Today, those same skills play a huge part in the way I photograph events, weddings and other occasions.
Photography Has Always Been There
Now, I combine my love for people, animals, sport and real moments through photography.
A Life Around Sport
Growing up in a very sporty family, being active was simply part of our lifestyle. My dad was a football player and still runs half marathons, while my mum was into gymnastics and is still rock climbing. Naturally, I've always been active too, playing academy football alongside gymnastics, climbing, squash, and recently Hyrox. That experience has given me an understanding of movement, competition and the moments that make sport exciting, something I now bring into my sports photography.
my Love for Dogs
Dogs have always been part of my life, even before I had any of my own. My grandparents lived on a vineyard in the South of France, where they had the space and the heart to rescue dogs and give them a better life.
During my years working in hospitality, I travelled a lot and worked long hours, so having one of my own never felt fair. That changed when I met my wife, who already had dogs and introduced me to the world of dog agility.
I'm now the very happy dog dad of two miniature poodles, Monaco and Casino (I haven't forgotten where I come from).
Casino compete in agility for Team England and Team GB. I now spend a lot of time around dogs and I have learned about reading dogs, understanding their behaviour and recognising when they are comfortable, excited, unsure or simply need a little space. That experience has naturally shaped the way I approach canine photography too, capturing their personality as they really are.
