My name is Frédéric Neema, and I am the founder of Octamedia Productions. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I am a professional photographer and cinematographer with extensive international experience. Over my career, I have traveled to over 45 countries on assignments for editorial and commercial clients, capturing a wide variety of subjects including wars, major disasters, world events, industrial installations, celebrities, CEOs, and more.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of meeting and photographing numerous famous individuals such as Nelson Mandela, Pope John Paul II, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Pierre Cardin, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, Placido Domingo, and even dictators like Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Omar Bashir of Sudan.
My images have been published in thousands of magazines, newspapers, books, brochures, and annual reports worldwide. My work is represented globally by major photo agencies such as Laif, Polaris, Corbis, and Getty, and some of my pictures are part of the Smithsonian collections.
When a crew is needed on an assignment, I rely on a network of reliable and talented professionals who share my passion and commitment to quality.
