About
Sylvain Vincent
Paris-born photographer and Director of Photography for artists, portraits and lifestyle — between Paris, the Riviera, Dubai and the US.
He started on the French Riviera and in the Caribbean as official photographer for Nikki Beach in St. Tropez, St. Barths and Cannes with the ARTMAN agency. After seven seasons he moved to Abu Dhabi as Visual Media Specialist at IPIC (now Mubadala), creating imagery for the group’s most exclusive events, press and campaigns.
From 2018 to 2025 he was based in Los Angeles, spending five years as lighting designer and assistant to Brian Bowen Smith. Today he is Director of Photography and key art creator for Jimmy Sax — key art, music videos, social content and a long-form documentary of years on tour.
