Director of Photography, London & UK. Naturalistic, story-led cinematography, shaped around the director's vision, whatever style the project calls for.
I'm Benjamin, a London-based Director of Photography / Cinematographer with 15 years of experience shooting narrative film, branded content and documentaries. My work leans naturalistic and observational, but the priority is always serving the director's vision; whatever the project calls for, I'll make sure we achieve it. My background in music shapes how I approach a scene: rhythm, energy and timing matter as much as the light. I can bring my own full camera, lens and lighting package, and I'm based in London and the South East, available across the UK and internationally.
