Filip Rideau
I’m a Frenchie based out of Doha who turns into a worldwide citizen whenever possible. Full of wanderlust and deep curiosity I utilize the amazing airline of Qatar Airways to explore culture and find special places, people and moments to photograph.
My passion for photography was inherited by my father and feed by my love for the craft. It was nothing short of a privilege to accompany my pops and be immersed in new situations that allowed me to witness personal discover and discover, creativity freedom and culture. Having started in the analogue age with only 36 snaps in the film chamber I learned patience and the importance of preparation that was reborn in the digital age.
I don’t believe anyone can completely master an art. One can only continue to find their inner creativity and evolve, refine and inspire. I will continue to do so with the mission of transferring skills as my father did for me.
"It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography, everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary."
- David Bailey
