Etienne Francey was born in 1997 in Fribourg, Switzerland. He graduated from the Vevey School of Photography in 2019. He works as a freelance photographer mainly in the commercial or editorial field (landscape, product, object).

His artistic work is intimately linked to nature. In a constant quest to transform reality and the wild world, he uses various artifices to distort, color, illuminate, refract… sometimes approaching painting or the abstract. His work has been published in newspapers and magazines such as L’Illustré, Fisheye and The Guardian. He was awarded the Hermann Elsner Prize in 2017 and is a four-time winner of the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition organized by London’s Natural History Museum.
