I’m a cinematographer and colorist based in Antibes, on the French Riviera. I shoot, I edit, and I grade — which usually means one person carries a project from the first setup to final delivery instead of three. Most of my work is commercials, brand films and music videos. Recent clients include Hyundai, MFF Records in Paris, Wonderhatch in the UK, and Pause Studios in Spain. I grade in DaVinci Resolve on a calibrated reference monitor, so what you approve is what you get. Lighting is the part I care about most. Where the light comes from, what it does to a face, what it leaves in shadow — that’s where a shot stops being footage and starts being an image. I’ve also taught cinematography and grading at YNOV Campus. I work in French, English and Hebrew, and I travel. israelkamkhadji.com
