About Alexandre

Over the past seven years, I have carried out various projects for several organizations: European Union, NGOs, research centers, and media. I have acquired solid field experience in communication in Iraq, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burkina Faso, the Philippines, Colombia, South Africa, Nepal, Jordan, and Ethiopia.

Today, I wish to combine my personal documentary photo and video reporting projects with freelance work in editing, writing, and translation.

Half-French, half-Spanish, I have worked for media in France (Courrier International, Slate) and South America during my missions in Colombia, where I developed good skills in both languages. Furthermore, I have worked in English for the past five years writing reports for international organizations, with academic articles during my studies at the University of Amsterdam and other works.

I therefore have the skills and tools to carry out translations between French, Spanish, and English, but also to proofread journalistic documents, reports, or others.

Finally, I can also contribute to photo and video production. I have been working in communication for several years and have the necessary equipment and editing tools (Photoshop, Adobe Premiere).
