About
My name is Sofia Nitti and I'm an Italian journalist and camera-woman. I work for French, Italian and English-speaking media outlets. I film and take photos with a Sony Apha 7-III camera. I have been reporting for AFP, Altreconomia, ARTE tv, Cnews, France24, AGI (Agenzia Giornalistica italia), InsideOver, La Tribune de Genève, Libération, Goethe Institute, Xinhua, The New Arab and UNFPA. I held a Master's Degree from Ecole Supérieure de Journalisme of Lille, in France. Before moving to Iraq, I've been working as apprentice (contrat d'alternance) at France 3 Centre Val-de-Loire, in Orleans. I've learned to shoot with shoulder camera and hand-held camera, Sony 400 and 200. I filmed daily reports for TV journal of 12AM and 7PM (The daily TV journal of France 3). I also made live broadcasts with AviWest. During my internship at AFP in Lyon, I could confirm my interest in treating hot news, which requires speed, rigor and a good general culture. Working in regional and international editorials such as Euronews, Nice-Matin and France 3, I developed useful skills such as ability to quickly rebound and versatility in the topics I treat. Proactive and passionated, I can deal with many things at the same time, even under pressure. I've been living in France for 7 years and I am bilingual. I speak fluent English and intermediate Spanish and I study Arabic (intermediate) intensively.

France 3 - A photograph on the Loire river
I shot this report in August 2018 during my apprenticeship at France 3 Centre Val-de-Loire. With my colleague Christine Launay we met the photograph Jean-Claude Picard on a early summer morning. He is specialized in photographing fauna and Flora of the Loire valley. He conceived and built special shelters to hide inside, in order to approach the animals and photograph them without disturbing them.

Bibliocyclettes - 19/20 France 3 CVdL
I shot this report in July 2018, with my colleague Alain Heudes, during my apprenticeship at France 3. It's about an innovative initiative of the Loiret department (in the French region of the Loire valley), in order to promote reading among young people during the summer. Volunteers travel by bike and carry a wide variety of books, from which children can choose. Reading labs are also organized.
