Career Debie attended the Institut des Arts de Diffusion (IAD), a Belgian film school.

In 2006 he photographed the French feature Locked Out.

In 2013 he was hired by American actor Ryan Gosling (whom Debie had first met in 1998) to shoot Gosling's first film, Lost River, which was filmed in 2013 and premiered at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
