Craig McKirdy
I am an experienced Director of Photography working across all genres including drama, documentaries, commercials, features etc. I have extensive experience using all types of cameras; Arri, Sony, RED (amongst others). I am accomplished in all styles of camera work and I have a real passion for lighting and making each shot work and look great. Every job is unique and I enjoy the challenge that comes with any production.
I have an extensive and varied list of credits working for many of the Indies and major broadcasters. I am willing to travel, have worked across the world and currently hold an American i-Visa.
