Passionate about images and conveying reality, Raphael began producing his first reports at the age of 17, in 1991. His first professional project, co-produced in 1994, was about the Kazantip festival in Ukraine for Arte TV. Introduced to images and reporting by Noël Quidu, a renowned reporter, he trained as a photojournalist at the 3IS film and audiovisual school in Paris. He then became an assistant, then a cameraman (OPV), and finally a director of photography on productions for major European (France Télévisions, Arte, BBC) and North American (Quebec co-productions Infocom) television channels. Specialising in lighting at the INA, he then worked on fiction films and numerous institutional films in France and internationally as director of photography. He also created a collective for cinema equipment. Raphaël will contribute to Brama as a strategic permanent pool of production between France and Europe
to be an essential bridge with other extra-European production companies from Asia, Americas, or even so, Middle East and Africa.

The fixer plays a crucial role in the execution of an audiovisual production, acting as a bridge between local communities and the project team. These communities can range from isolated populations to influential figures such as presidents, ministers, and other key stakeholders. Adaptability is essential, as the fixer must navigate and connect with all these different environments and worlds." Interview from CNC, 2019
