Paris and Manuel

Our First Date

Paris and Manuel met on a beach of crystal-clear water on the Island of the Gods. Both dressed in white. Both certain they had somehow met before. Both exactly where they were meant to be.

Paris grew up in a small town in Illinois. At eighteen, she left for Los Angeles to pursue acting. A co-starring role in Feud, alongside Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange, opened the door to a life of travel, cinema, and capturing the world through her unique eye.

She soon became one of the early creators in the space, building a career at the intersection of travel, fashion and visual storytelling. She moved to Saudi Arabia while the country was still closed to tourism, developing her style and point of view across landscapes few outsiders had ever experienced. Over the past decade, she has cultivated a visual language entirely her own: distinctive styling, unexpected locations, pastel palettes, and a rare ability to move effortlessly between being behind and in front of the camera. Her work has since taken her around the globe, redefining how places, brands, and experiences are seen and felt.

Manuel was born at the end of the world’s most storied pilgrimage: the Camino de Santiago. Perhaps it is no coincidence that he has always been drawn to journeys and, above all, to the stories hidden within them.

After studying Advertising and Film, his passion for photography, cinema and adventure led him to begin making travel films with little more than a digital camera and a drone. What began as a way to capture the world became a way of telling stories as a director, working on campaigns for tourism boards and exclusive properties, as well as fashion films and music videos.

Together, Paris and Manuel craft visual stories for some of the world’s most distinguished hotels, destinations and airlines. Their films are defined by immaculate compositions, extraordinary locations and a cinematic sensibility that balances beauty with personality, emotion and wit.

Elegant, unexpected and unmistakably their own.
