    Nicolas Menu

    Nicolas Menu is a Paris-based director and photographer working at the intersection of fashion, beauty, and cinematic storytelling. After shaping visual identities as an art director, he returned to his first passion—filmmaking and photography—bringing a refined eye for composition and a strong sense of visual narrative. His work is defined by a powerful, elegant, and emotionally resonant aesthetic. Moving fluidly between beauty, still life, advertising, and intimate editorials, Nicolas creates images—both still and moving—that feel tactile, dynamic, and distinctly authored. Technically precise yet instinctively expressive, his films capture the inner energy of his subjects with striking physicality. With a growing portfolio of standout commercial work, Nicolas has established himself as a visionary director known for ambitious concepts, fluid technical transitions, and fashion-driven storytelling. His background in creative direction is deeply embedded in his approach, giving his work a stylized, editorial edge. He has collaborated with leading fashion houses and luxury brands including Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Proenza Schouler, Lancôme, Bulgari, Givenchy, Estée Lauder, Dolce & Gabbana, MAC, L’Oréal, Helena Rubinstein, Sephora, Diesel, Jimmy Choo, Elie Saab, and Viktor & Rolf. His work has appeared in Vogue, Interview, Numéro, A Magazine Curated By, Harper’s Bazaar, GQ, and more. Recent projects include Bulgari’s B.zero1 campaign starring Lisa (BLACKPINK), the Serpenti campaign featuring Hikari Mori and Crystal Liu, the co-direction of Lancôme Génifique with Zendaya, and a L’Oréal Paris Makeup campaign with Kendall Jenner.
