Alex Côté

Outdoor cinematographer & photographer

I was born in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. When I was just a few weeks old, my father took me fishing for the first time. By the age of three, I was already casting lines like one of the grown-ups. At twelve, I picked up hunting and that’s when everything truly began. My friends and I started filming our hunting trips, and I quickly became obsessed with capturing every adventure on camera. Having access to a beautiful lake and a forest where I grew up really helped me developed my passion.

I later studied civil engineering and spent five years working as a project manager in the construction industry. That experience taught me how to lead large teams and approach complex projects with precision and structure. After that, I transitioned into a role at a marketing agency, where I spent nearly two years refining my passion for visual storytelling.

Today, my mission is to share the way I see the world outdoors. I’m always looking for unique angles both literally and figuratively to tell powerful, untold stories from the wilderness. Whether working with small, agile crews or heading out solo, I feel most inspired when I’m off the grid, immersed in nature. That’s where my creativity thrives.

In 2024, I launched WildTales, a YouTube channel dedicated to documentary-style storytelling featuring the incredible individuals I’ve met along the way.
