Didier Canaux

Beauty director Didier was born in France and went on to study at New York’s School of Visual Arts. After earning a degree in Fine Arts, he created multimedia pieces that were exhibited in galleries and museums in New York, Rome and Paris.

Realising the film and video medium was a means of delivering his artistic vision to a greater audience, Didier headed to London where he art directed high profile TV commercials and pop promos for such directors as Jake Scott, Michael Haussman and Doug Nichol.

Didier then moved into the director’s chair and created his first test commercial for Nike over 8 years ago. It was subsequently chosen by Shots for their coveted New Directors category.

Didier has since delivered commercials for brands including Garnier, Johnson & Johnson, Colgate-Palmolive, Roge Cavailles, Intima and Nestle.

Didier’s ability to work with actors, to build moods, and to instil great visuals have all contributed to his success.
