He has since worked in commercials with world-class brands such as Cartier, Chanel, Armani, YSL, Louis Vuitton, Dior, L’oreal and Coca-Cola.

Laurent is most recognized for his collaboration with director Cédric Jimenez for the feature films The Connection starring Jean Dujardin, a sweeping mafia picture shot exquisitely in 35mm, and HHhH– also known as The Man with the Iron Heart– starring Rosamund Pike, Jason Clarke, Jack O’Connell and Mia Wasikowska. Laurent also shot the TV show The Last Panthers, directed by Johan Renck and starring Samantha Morton, which was a BAFTA nominee for Best Drama. Laurent’s most recent picture, Sink or Swim for director Gilles Lellouche, was selected for the Cannes Festival 2018.
