RGM is a French director based in Paris.
His passion for the arts began at the music conservatory, where he studied the violin.
Between the ages of 19 and 24, he grabbed his skateboard and camera, traveling the world sponsored by Sector9 Skateboards.
His keen eye and original approach opened the doors to several French and international publications, which soon featured his portraits and editorial series.
In 2002, he traveled to Estonia for the first time. His notebook-style photographs were exhibited at the National Library in Tallinn and later at the Cité de la Mode et du Design in Paris.
His first photography book about Estonia was launched at Colette in Paris in 2005 and received critical acclaim. (Finalist for Best European Photo Book Prize at the Rencontres Photographiques d’Arles 2005.)
This recognition led him to develop new projects and explore other artistic fields of visual expression including short films, installation videos and film documentaries, among others a portrait of Estonian writer and Literature Nobel Prize nominee Jaan Kaplinski.
In 2011 RGM began a successful career as a commercial director, pursuing personal projects in parallel.
His films for fashion and beauty brands reflect both his precise sense of elegance and his deep interest in human driven storytelling.
He has directed numerous films for some of the world’s top luxury companies including Paco Rabanne (Bronze Grand Prix Stratégie du Luxe 2019), Louis Vuitton, Kenzo, Berluti, Dior, Armani, YSL Beauty, Carolina Herrera, Estée Lauder, to name a few.
Today, RGM is a multidisciplinary artist who embraces all forms of visual storytelling, from photography and cinematography to writing and film direction.
