Born in 1985 in Marseille, France, Brouillet grew up between land and sea, taking his first steps and spending most weekends and holidays aboard his family sailboat, the Chrysaora.
A lover of science, the ocean, and animals, his deepest passion has always been sports, including surfing, football, combat sports, motorsports, NFL, and sailing. He is fascinated by the strategy, technology, and psychology behind sports, and by the emotions they spark. Joy, sorrow, doubt, laughter, and tears.
Brouillet's passion for sports is what first led him to buy his first camera to film his early skateboarding or snowboarding adventures with friends. Years later, while assisting a photographer friend at a downhill mountain bike event in France, he discovered a new passion for photography as it allowed him to freeze what action often hides: moments too fast and too intense to fully grasp in real time. It wasn’t photography itself that first drew him in, but rather its ability to reveal invisible movement. Photography became a way for him to get closer to the action.
When Brouillet arrived in Tahiti in 2014, he discovered a new visual and creative playground. He began photographing the waves and surfers he had long admired from 20,000 kilometers away.
On July 27, 2024, he captured a now-iconic photo of Gabriel Medina hovering mid-air above the wave at Teahupo’o during the Paris Olympic Games. The shot went viral and earned him multiple international photography awards, including World Press Photo, AIPS Awards, Istanbul Award, World Sports Photography Award, and Picture of the Year (POY).
