About Emmanuel

Hello,
I am Emmanuel Lakkari, Director of Photography (DOP), gimbal operator (Movi Pro / Ronin / RS3 Pro) and DaVinci Resolve colorist, with over 15 years of experience in advertising, brand content, fiction, corporate, and documentary.
I have overseen the visuals for projects for brands like Guerlain, Cartier, Dior, Tag Heuer, and Porsche, as well as productions broadcast on Netflix and Amazon. My approach remains the same whether for a brand film or a fiction piece: lighting direction and framing in service of the narrative, considered from the project's inception.
I adapt to your vision and propose the best artistic, logistical, and budgetary solutions, from conception to final delivery. My network of freelance collaborators (directors, editors, VFX artists, sound mixers, colorists) and my partnerships with camera and lighting rental companies allow me to quickly assemble the team and technical setup tailored to your project, at competitive rates.
A selection of my work is available in the portfolio below. Some recent productions are in post-production or for private distribution (internal corporate videos): access upon request.
