Françoise Noyon

Cinematographer

Françoise’s interest in photography dates back to when she was in Corneille high school in Rouen and she discovered filming and cameras when she joined the Archimède Film Club. Once she graduated from high school, she enrolled at Paris III university to study cinema and modern literature. After graduating, she worked as an intern at Samuelson Alga in Vincennes. Thanks to encounters with various people, she began working on film shoots as assistant to several directors of photography (Yvan Kozelka, Yves Dahan, Jean Yves Le Mener, Dominique Chapuis, Hughes de Haeck …)

She has worked on numerous feature films (The Seventh Dimension, Rendez-vous au Tas de Sable, Operation Corned Beef, Le Gône du Chaâba, Les Kidnappeurs…), television series, clips, advertisements and documentaries as first camera assistant or second camera operator. She also made many short films as director of photography. Parallel to these activities, she passed on her experience to students in several film schools. Forever curious and keen to understand technological developments, she has written articles about them in specialised publications. Since 2007, she has represented the CST’s Image department alongside Thierry Beaumel.
