/ Niamey, Niger
Professional photographer and videographer in Niamey
Niamey concentrates most of our shooting in Niger. Our fifteen AfroCréateurs live here, available within twenty-four hours, with camera bodies, lighting, sound, stabiliser and drone on hand — nothing to ship in from abroad, no customs delay to absorb into the schedule.
Missions to the regions leave from Niamey, and this is where turnaround is shortest: what takes a day in the capital takes three or four in Maradi or Tahoua, travel included. It is also the city where we have covered the most events, among them the Novembre Numérique festival at the Franco-Nigerien Cultural Centre.
Our videographers work here in French, Hausa and Zarma, which changes the nature of an interview: the people filmed tell their story instead of answering through an interpreter.

What they 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

Il a su capter avec précision toute la dynamique des différents événements mis en place. Les photos sélectionnées, d'une grande qualité technique, permettent de rendre compte de la manifestation dans son ensemble.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can a creator be on site in Niamey?
Twenty-four hours. Our fifteen AfroCréateurs live in the city and have neither a flight to catch nor equipment to ship.
Is equipment available locally, or does it have to be brought in?
Everything is in Niamey: camera bodies, lighting, sound, stabiliser, drone, studio and neutral backdrop. No imports, and no equipment transport costs in the quote.
What if my project also takes place outside Niamey?
That is the usual case, and the set-up is built for it. Our creators live in Niamey and travel out from the capital with their own equipment — Tillabéri, Tahoua, Maradi, Zinder. You keep the same team as in the city, and the journey is costed into the quote rather than discovered on the road.
