Guillaume Nery - Freediving
Who is Guillaume Nery?
Guillaume Néry (born 11 July 1982) is a French freediver specialising in Constant Weight freediving.On 2011, he became individual world champion, with a dive to -117 m in Kalamata.
“I decided to film without considering the elementary framing rules. I was no longer limited by the idea of top and bottom, like in space. In those conditions, I was able to create the natural illusion of a curved planet. The big challenge was to avoid filming the abundant sea life (sharks, dolphins and numerous fish) to maintain a spatial and non-marine atmosphere.” - Julie Gautier
What does he love?
Freediving. And he has made very cool film about this.“Ocean Gravity” is the second collaboration between free diver Guillaume Nery and filmmaker Julie Gautier. The short film was shot underwater at the Tiputa Pass in Rangiroa at the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. Nery seems to float effortlessly through the water (like he’s floating in space) as he rides an underwater ocean current. This post is part of my Inspiration Weekly 2015 resolution.
