About Sylvain

Director of photography, JRI, drone operator with over 14 years of experience in documentary/video journalism and corporate/institutional. I have a Sony Alpha A7sIII filming kit and an Adobe Premiere Pro editing station. I work with French (France TV, Neo), English-speaking (Great Big Story, Euronews, CNBC, BBC) media and institutional clients (Grand Angle Corporate, Tara Ocean Foundation, CNRS). My recent clients include: Great Big Story (CNN), Grand Angle Productions, France Télévisions, CNBC. Highly versatile and adaptable to multiple environments, I have worked on boats following scientific research (Tara, Marion Dufresne) as well as on land following artisans, gastronomy professionals, park rangers, and many other situations in France and abroad. I can produce a report or institutional piece autonomously from A to Z or work as a Director of Photography, JRI, or drone operator according to your needs.

  • Great Big Story
    Director/Director of Photography
    December 2018 - Today (7 years and 6 months)
    Paris, France
    Since 2018, for the digital media created by CNN Great Big Story, I research, plan, and shoot stories autonomously, in cooperation with producers based in the USA and England. The media outlet was closed in 2020 and then bought in 2022 by the company Why Now in England, whose director is none other than Mick Jagger's son, Gabriel Jagger. It is therefore naturally that I continued with Great Big Story in 2022 after their 2-year hiatus. I particularly enjoy working for this media outlet because it requires attention to detail, a well-developed story, ambitious staging, and the results are often of very high quality. Most recently, I have started writing the narrative framework for the stories I find, in addition to directing and filming. I have about fifteen collaborations with them.
