Raphaël Piguet started shooting music videos around 2010 while studying photography in Vevey. Both involved in visual arts and rap, he came naturally to directing clips for many Swiss and international artists.
He gratuated from Vevey’s photography school in 2012 (CFC and ES), and learnt more about moving images by working on fiction or commercial films as 1st AC, gaffer and finally D.O.P.
In 2021, after having worked as a freelance for about ten years, he starts a master grade formation in cinematography at the Zürich University of the Arts (ZHDK) and specializes in fiction and documentary.
