About Yvan

Journalist and cameraman, I film and direct reports broadcast mainly on TF1 or M6.
I also produce short films or high-quality interviews for companies.
Finally, I teach at CFPJ (Center for Journalist Training) methods for successful videos: mastering content and form, conducting interviews, putting your interlocutor at ease, and knowing how to prompt reformulation.
As an independent professional, I have my own filming equipment (Sony A7Siii, microphones, light panel).
With 25 years of experience in this field, I have a perfect understanding of filming conditions for films or videos; I know how to organize myself and put people at ease to ensure everything runs smoothly.
