Welcome to the Irix Ambassador program

Pierre is a scientist and biologist, with a strong passion for macrophotography and adventure. When he is not lying on the ground of the French Riviera taking pictures of insects and spiders, he travels the world, often documenting scientific expeditions with photo and video. 

Passion for photography has accompanied him through his biology studies - macrophotography has become an indispensable tool to document and illustrate his research work on natural products and animal venoms. His images have been used in seminars, symposia, research reports, scientific papers and University courses.

"From a young age, the desire to express myself through an artistic universe has always been deeply rooted in me. As a child, I started making short films with a modest camcorder from my parents and little by little a real passion for audiovisual art developed in me.

I had the chance to work on many projects all over the world, including New Caledonia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, New Zealand, Nepal, Cameroon, Iceland and many places across Europe. I’m deeply inspired by travel, poetry, music, philosophy and nature. These elements inspire me everyday to show my personality through the work I do. Human relations and contact with nature for me are intimately linked and guide my vision and my way of filming."

"I'm a full-time traveler who likes to take photographs of landscapes and architecture.

I love the challenge of reproducing the atmosphere and highlighting small details by choosing unique compositions. With a penchant for the mystical, I try to invite the viewer for a short daydream while seeing my pictures."

French artist, Dimitri Bourriau “Jahz Design”, holds a degree in graphic design and has always been interested in history and architecture. It was in 2013, when he developed his interest in photography of heritage places in disuse. His first exploration was an ancient cemetery of military ships.

Today, he travels the globe looking for places in decline. He tries to draw attention to civilization in constant mutation. His latest discoveries have taken him in the footsteps of the Soviet Buran spacecraft program in Baikonur (Kazakhstan).

Krzysztof Turzynski, positively twisted about interior and architecture photography for 11 years running is a promoter of good photography and education of interior direction. Krzysztof has been sharing his passion by leading photography workshops for the past 6 years. He wants to capture photos that create smiles on the faces of people, who view them.

“Hello! My name is Stefano Perrone, I'm an astronomer specialized in astrophotography and I have spent most of my life photographing and filming the most remote and beautiful corners of our planet.

For years now, I have been using Irix lenses exclusively for landscape, macro and above all, astrophotography. Thanks to their high performance, sharpness and brightness, Irix lenses are ideal for people like me, who work in difficult to reach locations.”

Pierpaolo Salvatore is an Italian landscape and wildlife photographer. Always passionate about nature and mountains, he loves to explore the wildest and the least known places in search of exciting shots.

“Hi, my name is Matthew and I have been involved in film for over five years now. I live and work mainly in Germany, but I also do projects all over Europe!

I try to make sure that the films I create reflect my passion for filmmaking. I strive to create films that are full of emotions, engaging stories and deep messages.

I am not afraid to experiment and push the boundaries of cinematography. My creativity knows no bounds, and I try to make each film I create unique.

On a daily basis I travel by campervan and try to live close to nature. A sense of freedom is a state of mind - this is how I am able to express the real me, without ego masks, imposed norms and social expectations. Vanlife and film have allowed me to know myself and accept who I am. It has been about liberating myself from control, both externally and internally.”
