Description

To see my work, visit my website: faridkarioty.com or view a selection in my portfolio here:

I love conveying emotions and messages through images, which is why I work in both photography and video.

I have extensive video experience on numerous projects ranging from corporate films to feature films (Les Misérables by Ladj Ly), including advertising, music videos, short films, and documentaries (Netflix, Planète, etc.). I have also worked in photography for editorial, events, and architecture.

I am also an approved drone pilot (national scenarios S1, S3, open category A1, A2, A3, specific categories STS-01, STS-02) with experience in photography and video.

Finally, I have many post-production skills, whether for photo retouching or editing and color grading (preferably Davinci Resolve).

Freelance
Director Of Photography
June 2018 - Today (8 years)
A versatile Director of Photography with rich and varied experience, covering cinema, television, advertising, and documentary.

I have been the Director of Photography for acclaimed short fiction films, broadcast on prestigious channels like CANAL+ ("JACQUES") and CINÉ+ ("LA PIERRE PERCÉE"). My career also includes collaboration on international documentaries, notably "13 Novembre" for Netflix and "Notre-Dame de Paris" for TMC, as well as the Cannes award-winning film "Les Misérables" by Ladj Ly, where I served as camera assistant and drone operator.

My expertise extends to the advertising sector, with multiple digital campaigns for brands like ARIJE, and to music content, through music videos and live sessions for various artists. As a camera operator for fashion shows of major houses (Dior, Givenchy, Balenciaga), I adapt agilely to the demands of each format.

My engineering background in optics gives me a thorough technical mastery of the entire image chain, from capture to post-production. This dual expertise allows me to ensure a polished aesthetic and impactful visual storytelling on every project.
