Jean studied Cinematography at AFDA and in his fourth year started working on commercials and later became Best Boy for Bruce Thomas.

He started doing small music videos, commercials and wants to get into long form. After giving the camera department a try and realizing it did not fit his personality, he decided to focus mainly on lighting where he can be both technical and creative.

He grew up in a small town where you could either be a lawyer, doctor or engineer and he would rather be out in the field and travel. He loves what he does and cannot see himself doing anything else.
