Antoine Mesnage, born in 1994, is a French director, photographer, and videographer from Annecy.
Passionate about the mountains and outdoor sports since childhood, he discovered climbing at an early age thanks to his father. He then turned to slacklining and highlining, disciplines in which he excels and has practiced since adolescence. He notably competed in the French Slacklining Championships, where he placed eighth in 2014, before turning to more artistic and creative projects centered around images.
After an initial career in marketing and experience as an athlete and content creator, he decided to move behind the camera to become a photographer and director. Today, he works with numerous outdoor brands and produces powerful visual content, highlighting the beauty and emotion of mountain sports. His highlining experience, which he has been practicing for over twelve years, nourishes his vision and aesthetic approach, allowing him to capture unique moments at altitude.
Antoine Mesnage is known for his spectacular films and photographs, including "Arves en Ciel," a 26-minute documentary about crossing a 480-meter highline between the Aiguilles d'Arves, and "Des Équilibres," released in 2024, which explores highliners' quest for balance in extreme environments. He takes a committed approach, where images serve to convey the beauty of nature and inspire self-improvement. Today, photography and video are his main activities, while he continues to pursue his passion for highlining and adventure.
