Life
Jacques Steyn first worked as a lighting technician and camera assistant for film. At the end of the 1970s he came to Germany and worked as a chief cameraman for television and from 1980 also in the cinema. With his convincing camera work for Abwärts , Steyn won the German Film Prize in the category Best Camera in 1984 and was then used in international film productions.
