Realizing his passion for photography at an early age, Rayen chose to study cinematography and filmmaking, beginning with two years at Académie d’Art de Carthage, where he earned a BTP (Patent of Professional Technician) in Photography. He then pursued his higher education at ESAD (École Supérieure des Arts et du Design), a private institution for film studies in Tunisia. During his studies, he was mentored by Lilia Sellami , a world-class director of photography. At the same time, he interned at a marketing and content creation agency while working as a freelance videographer. This combination of academic training and hands-on experience helped him develop crucial skills, allowing him to reach the level of an art director shortly after earning his degree.
