Biography

I'm a cinematographer, storyboard artist and photographer based in France. Born and raised in Morocco, and having lived in Spain, Belgium, Algeria and France my multi-cultural perspective is an asset in my work. I holds a Master's Degree of Art Director in Animated Films. In a previous life I used to be a CG Artist. After working as a character artist intern on a Netflix TV show "Go! Go! Cory Carson", in 2018 I decided to switch my CGI softwares for my camera and teamed up with National Geographic documentary producer to work on my first documentary. I wanted to be more involved in the creation process, to help create compelling images and maintains a commitment to telling empowering stories that uplift the spirit. Today, I work as a cinematographer and storyboarder on various projects including short films, commercials, video clips and documentaries. I am responsible for the process of recording a scene in the manner desired by the director, the choice of the cameras and lenses, designing and selecting lighting, the shot composition and camera mouvements in consultation with the director.
