Who's Pango?
Hi! I'm Mathieu Ruffray. I'm a Filmmaker & Photographer based in France.
My grandfather passed on his passion for photography to me when I was younger. My first years of skateboarding allowed me to get acquainted with my first camera, which I've never let go of since. Fascinated by travel, adventure, extreme sports, and today, mainly by mountain biking, I try to find the right balance between sports and contents creation. When I'm not behind my camera, I'm probably on my bike. I travel a lot for video and photo projects, but also for competitions, as l'm part of a professional mountain bike team.
At 26 years old, I've already accumulated a lot of fascinating projects with different athletes and teams, whom I admire. Through my images and videos I try to bring my own identity, a story. Go away from home for weeks, months, and bring back moments of life in my hard drives. I live for and of my passion, I love my work and I hope I can continue for many years to come.
THE DARKNESS
Pango, from Maori, means "dark".
THE LIGHT IN THE DARK
The eyes of an owl: because he has the ability to hunt in complete darkness thanks to his eyes which let in 3 times more light than those of humans. This makes it a "famous" animal for its excellent night vision.
THE LIGHT AND ITS PLAYGROUND
How does our logo relate to our business? "Pango" means dark, while the prefix "photo" means light, clarity. This makes a connection by opposition (dark/light). The playground and secret of visual creation.
