Behind the Lens

Professional headshot of Abdelilah Akannour, videographer in Rabat, Morocco

I'm a camera operator and video editor at SNRT, Morocco's national broadcaster, where I shoot and edit documentaries and news reports for AL AOULA and AL MAGHRIBIA. Every piece has to meet broadcast editorial and technical standards — and still hold the viewer.

Based in Rabat, I work closely with production teams from the shoot to the final master: framing, lighting and sound in the field, then editing and delivery in Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro.
