Dans le cadre du programme AEDIB de l'Union européenne, nous avons réalisé une vidéo de capitalisation sur sa première année, ainsi qu'un format court de mise en valeur de ses activités à partir de leurs rushes. Le tournage s'est déroulé à Abidjan en Côte d'Ivoire et à Dakar au Sénégal, et nous avons couvert un panel lors du Gitex à Marrakech au Maroc.

What our clients say
« La capacité d'AFROTO à mobiliser des photographes et vidéastes professionnels sur le continent est une réelle plus-value pour l'OIF dans le cadre de ses projets multi-pays afin d'obtenir des outils de communication homogènes pour l'ensemble de ses zones d'intervention. »
Henri Eli Monceau
Directeur, Direction de la Francophonie économique et numérique, Organisation internationale de la Francophonie
« Sur le terrain, Moctar s'est montré efficace ; il était évident qu'il avait l'habitude de tourner dans des conditions relativement difficiles […]. Le fait qu'il parle la langue locale a également été d'une aide plus que précieuse. »
Adèle Dachy
Caritas International Belgique
« Your strength lies in the high-quality control you impose throughout your interaction with the World Resources Institute and our partners, as well as your abilities to be fully bilingual, which ensured a smoother collaboration. »

We answer
A question not covered here? Write to us, we reply within 24 hours.
All questionsHow do I choose a photographer, videographer or designer (AfroCréateur)?
You don't have to search. You describe your need, and we select the most relevant creator on the ground: availability on the planned dates, experience with this type of assignment, languages spoken locally.
I'm not in Africa, can I order a production?
That's the case for most of our clients: they order from Geneva, Brussels, Dakar or Washington. Everything happens remotely, in French or English, from the brief to the delivery gallery.
Can I order several reportages at once?
Yes, and that's where we bring the most value: several cities, several countries, a single contract, a single invoice, and a consistent result across all deliverables.
Can I order a creator outside Africa?
Yes, especially when the need spans several countries. We have already produced in Lebanon, Canada, the United States, France, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, the Dominican Republic and Indonesia.
How do I become an AfroCréateur?
Send us your application and your work from the dedicated page. We get back to you when an assignment matches your profile.
One brief, we handle it.
