Cédric is a Dakar-based director of photography working in service of raw, textured and authentic images.
As a director of photography, Cédric Randriamalala shapes the light and the image on shoots across Dakar and Senegal — commercials, music videos, brand documentaries, short films. He favours natural light, framing that stays close to reality, and a strongly textured image, steering away from the over-polished look of some productions.
Familiar with local shooting conditions, he knows the locations, crews and constraints specific to Dakar, which simplifies preparation and logistics from the location scout to the final shot.
