ROLL · CINEMATOGRAPHY
Director of Photography in Dakar
The light of Dakar as raw material.
Light & frame
I frame close to reality, in natural light whenever possible. Dakar offers hard, contrasty light — I look for it, I wait for it, I don't correct it. The frame follows the energy of the scene rather than the other way round.
Approach
Organic image, embraced grain, minimal but well-chosen gear. I favour mobility and closeness to the subjects — a light setup that lets the moment breathe.
Collaborations
Cinematography on Schott x Walk In Paris (Paris, 2025) and imagery across all my Dakar productions.
