About

Sylvain Vincent

Born in Paris, France, Sylvain has built an international career as a portrait photographer and visual creator with a refined eye for storytelling. His early years were shaped on the French Riviera and the Caribbean, working as an official photographer for Nikki Beach in St. Tropez, St. Barths, and Cannes under the prestigious ARTMAN agency. After seven successful seasons, his work and reputation led ARTMAN to recruit him for a major career leap: a role as Visual Media Specialist at IPIC (now Mubadala), one of the largest investment companies in the United Arab Emirates.

In this position, Sylvain developed a wide range of high-end visual assets for some of the most elite and exclusive events sponsored by the group. Working closely with communications teams, he produced imagery for press releases, catalogues, EDM campaigns, social media platforms, corporate websites, and all PR and marketing initiatives — always delivering at a standard expected by leading global institutions.

From 2018 to 2025, Sylvain was based in Los Angeles, where he expanded his artistic and technical expertise even further. He spent five years working as a lighting designer and assistant to renowned photographer Brian Bowen Smith, under Copious Management, contributing to shoots with Hollywood-level precision and creativity.

Today, Sylvain brings this international experience into the music industry, working as a Director of Photography and Key Art creator for celebrated artist Jimmy Sax (https://www.instagram.com/jimmysax/) under Wonder Manage Management (https://www.instagram.com/wondermanage/).

His work includes key art photography, music video production, social media content creation, and long-form documentary storytelling captured over years of touring worldwide.

Now based in the United Arab Emirates once again, Sylvain continues to merge artistic vision, technical mastery, and global experience—creating sophisticated, emotionally impactful imagery for artists, brands, and institutions at the highest level.
