He has around 6 years experience shooting award winning short & feature films, music videos and commercials covering a wide variety of genres including Drama, Comedy, Romance, Horror, Action & Period Piece.
Louis' career started in theatre and live event lighting where he soaked up important lighting techniques that he has taken with him into his work in cinema. Upon leaving the world of theatre, he worked his way up the roles in the camera department; starting as a loader and DIT on a multitude of different productions then up to focus pulling for DP's such as Stephen Murphy (Line of Duty & Vera), Louis Mackay, Alex Veitch, Keidrych Wasley & Karl Poyzer before becoming a Cinematographer himself.
In addition to his DP line of work, Louis still regularly works as a 1st AC on a variety of productions ranging from commercial through to feature films and also generates DCP's for productions on request. Click here to download my most recent Focus Puller CV.
