About Francois

Hi, I’m Francois!

I’ve been living and working as a camera operator in Seoul, South Korea for 13 years and I love the work that I do.

My specialties include cinematic corporate videos, documentaries, sports news, and event coverage. I have extensive experience working in corporate environments, collaborating with people, and creating a positive and comfortable atmosphere on set.

I’m skilled in lighting quality interviews and capturing cinematic b-roll in both corporate and documentary settings. I enjoy using a mix of gimbal, handheld, and tripod shots to keep each production visually interesting.

Directing non-professional talent or people who aren’t used to being on camera comes naturally to me.

I genuinely enjoy working with clients and helping them feel at ease so they can perform their best. I focus on maintaining positive energy on set, and when appropriate, I use light humor to help people relax and bring out their most authentic selves.

I truly enjoy my job and the people I meet along the way.
