Laurent Nivalle

DS Automobiles Design Center - Groupe PSA

Paris, France
I’m a creative director, photographer and film director for the french car company DS Automobiles in the design department for the last 16 years.
I manage a CGI and graphic designers team as well as making creative direction on various internal and external communication projects ( advertising, digital, presskit, books, photographs, films, cgi ).

I'm also freelancer and interested by any commissioned projects in art direction, photography and film. With a spontaneous and creative approach to photography, my preferences are portraits as well as automotive, motorbikes and fashion photography.
