Biography

Yoann Urvoy, known as Yotof, spent almost all his life on the sea. As a kid, he grew up on bord of the familly sailing boat, for later being a skipper. In 2009, he settles down in Ajaccio (Corsica), with his wife and son. This is the turning point: becoming an aquatic photographer. This « globe-floater », passionate about surf, enthusiastic about the vastness of the great bleue ocean, it’s underwater that Yotof breathes the best. He starts his adventure by taking pictures of waves and surf, here in Corsica. During the 2010 Imperial Regattas, fully equiped whith his waterproof underwater gear, Yotof jumps into the waters inbetween those unique sailing boats! A real physical performance, getting unprecedently close to those speedy floating monsters, taking shots that had never been seen! He’d just created his new dicipline. Ever since, underwater, at the surface, straddling between two worlds, with his authentic photography, Yotof offers new perspectives on veils. He becomes a renowned sailing photographer. In 2012, he shoots the Corsican shoreline and marine heritage for the INNAUTIC Project. Thanks to his seaman skills, knowledge on shipyard and marine environment, he is the privileged partner for sailing professionals who wish to boost their communication. With several years of experience, Yotof builds a substantial marine and sailing image bank.
Following nautical events all around France, he proposes personalised shootings for professionals and private individuals.
