About

I’m an Irish cinematographer based in Dublin, with strong ties to Belfast and London. I graduated from the National Film School at IADT, Dún Laoghaire, in 2016 with First Class Honours in Film & Television Production, specialising in Cinematography.

I’ve been working behind the camera since 2012, shooting commercials, narrative films and music videos. I’m drawn to projects with a strong visual idea—whether the approach is intimate and naturalistic or bold and highly stylised.

For me, cinematography is as much about people as it is about images. I bring a calm, collaborative approach to set, combining technical knowledge and creative problem-solving with a genuine commitment to the director’s vision. My aim is always to create distinctive, cinematic work while keeping the process practical, positive and enjoyable for everyone involved.

I’m available for projects throughout Ireland, the UK and internationally. If you’re considering me for a project, feel free to give me a bell anytime - I’d love to chat.

Go raibh maith agat,

Aidan
