Kia ora, Bonjour,

I am Jean, a Wellington-based photographer, videographer and visual artist,


Born in France and shaped by 16+ years living abroad. I moved to Australia when I was 18, then made my way to New Zealand in 2022 to change career and pursue my passion for music, film and visual arts.


Before picking up a camera full time, I spent over a decade working as an electrician on remote infrastructure projects. It taught me many things like patience, resilience, and how to work with whatever a situation throws at me.


In 2026 I completed a Bachelor of Commercial Music at Massey University in Wellington, with a film production option. However my creative path started in Australia, where I began learning music production before covid, juggling working on the mines and after-work study at Labsix Records in Perth. I still produce and perform as a DJ under the alias Mandit from time to time and I will never lose my passion for music.


I’ve always loved capturing my travels, so teaching myself photography and post-production came naturally over the years. Today my work spans music videos, live events, portraits, travel photography, engagement shoots, behind-the-scenes content and documentary-style projects. Whatever the format, storytelling is my sole focus.


I'm always looking to create something warm, nostalgic and a little cinematic, the kind of frame that makes you feel like you were there.


This portfolio is a collection of my favourite moments that were created alongside amazing humans like you reading this right now.


Have you got a project in mind but aren't sure how to bring it life? I'd love to hear from you and help you tell your story. 


Much love. 


Fun fact: when I'm not behind a lens, you'll find me surfing, going to the movies, hiking or camping
