About me

My name is Saimawn, I'm a young aspiring cinematographer. I graduated from the London Film School with a Master degree, specializing in cinematography. Since then I have built a portfolio of work with a wide breadth of experience and knowledge within this art form. I currently work and pursue my career based in London, as well as working on international assignments. I have broad experiences with working on shorts, TV dramas, commercials and promos, either as a cinematographer or camera and lighting technician. Under these productions I have learnt the discipline of the craft and sharpened my skill as a cinematographer. I have worked with multiple formats ranging from 35mm, 16mm to HD DSLR up to 5K highend digital. My approach is organic and naturalistic, always striving to achieve striking cinematic images to tell the story. I'm driven by the desire to create dramatic and provocative pictures.
