RETOUR EN IMAGES is a visual creation studio based in the heart of the Alps in Chambéry, founded by photographer and videographer Alexei. At the intersection of sight and sound, this project is a laboratory dedicated to texture, color, and rhythm.
For the second time, RETOUR EN IMAGES was invited to be part of the adventure at the Cocktail Musique Festival. Each year, the festival delivers a great lineup, ranging from rock and pop to metal; a new energy takes over the village of La Biolle.
Using a Canon EOS 70D with an 18-135mm lens, Alexei set out to capture that electricity and those moments of connection. Here is a glimpse of the 2026 edition.

ABOUT ALEXEI...
Alexei is a photographer, video editor, and drummer based in Chambéry.
His approach to visuals is simple: it’s all about timing and energy. Being behind the drums gives him a natural sense of rhythm, which he brings directly into his camera work and video editing. No over-rehearsed setups—just capturing the raw intensity of the moment, whether he's shooting live music, portraits, or cutting a fast-paced video.
