Kevin Avedissian, cinematographer, behind the scene

Born in Paris, France, Kevin Avedissian studied cinematography at the ESRA school of cinema in Paris and Panthéon-Sorbonne University. He trained for several years as a camera assistant on feature films and commercials.
Since becoming a cinematographer, he is shooting narrative, commercials and music videos.

As soon as he finished school, Kevin worked on fashion films, especially with the director Emma d’Hoeraene for the designer Charlie Le Mindu.
The success of these films led him to shoot TVc and digital films for prestigious brands such as Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Boucheron, Margiela, Lacoste, Kérastase, Air France, Le Bon Marché, Adidas, Canal +, Citroën, Cointreau, etc.

Kevin's work on short and feature films has also been fulfilling. He recently shot a short film directed by Malo Welfling starring Léa Seydoux and Louis-Do de Lencquesaing.
Ilan Zerrouki’s short film “Je l'aime alors je la quitte” has won more than 50 international awards.

Moreover, Kevin made the image of successful music videos for artists such as La Femme (dir. Ilan Zerrouki), Hoshi & Benjamin Biolay (dir. Abel Danan), Vald & Sofiane (dir. Alleyezonit), Kekra (dir. Ousmane Ly & Adrien Lagier), Deen Burbigo (dir. Yagooz) or Alice et Moi (dir. Emma d’Hoeraene).

Kevin speaks French, English and Armenian.

Zeiss Standard Speeds have been industry workhorses for more than 45 years. They shot Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Kundun, Holy Motors, The 5th Element, Trainspotting, and Roger Deakins used them to shoot Fargo. Their older optical designs, vintage glass and coatings are the perfect recipe to take some of the edge off of digital cameras. They are incredibly flattering on faces, some of the smallest and lightest cinema lenses available.
