About Me
I am Robert McIntosh cinematographer, photographer, and lighting enthusiast. With over 10 years of experience in the field, I have honed my craft and developed a passion for capturing breathtaking visuals through the art of light. My journey began as a photographer, exploring the intricacies of composition and storytelling through a lens. Over time, my fascination with lighting grew, leading me to specialize in this crucial aspect of visual storytelling.
During my extensive career, I have had the incredible opportunity to work in various capacities. For two years, I embarked on an exhilarating adventure as a touring photographer, capturing the essence of musicians, artists, and performers on stage. The vibrant energy and dynamic atmosphere of live events fueled my creativity and expanded my understanding of capturing the perfect moment.
In addition to my photography expertise, I spent four years as a touring lighting designer, creating immersive and captivating experiences through the power of light. The interplay between light and shadows has always fascinated me, and as a lighting designer, I harnessed this knowledge to shape moods, emphasize emotions, and elevate performances. This unique experience has given me a keen eye for lighting setups, allowing me to bring a distinct perspective to every project I undertake.
With a decade of combined experience as a cinematographer, photographer, and lighting expert, I have refined my skills in creating visually stunning imagery that engages and captivates audiences. From commercial projects to documentaries, from films to fashion shoots, I have had the privilege to work on diverse assignments, enabling me to adapt my style to various genres and demands.
My approach to cinematography and photography is driven by a deep appreciation for the power of light. I meticulously craft lighting setups to enhance the narrative, evoke emotions, and bring a cinematic quality to every frame. Whether it's finding the perfect natural light or meticulously designing an intricate lighting scheme, I strive to create visuals that leave a lasting impact.
Beyond technical expertise, I am dedicated to building strong collaborations and fostering a creative environment. I believe in open communication, listening to my clients' visions, and working closely with them to bring their ideas to life. Every project is a unique opportunity to create something extraordinary, and I am committed to delivering exceptional results that exceed expectations
