Franklin Dow

I work across fiction, documentary and commercial with each form of cinematography enriching the others. My documentary career has taken me to 40 countries around the world, I have seen the best of humanity and the worst, often sharing the same space. These experiences are constant source of inspiration in my life and work.

My role is to create images that tell a story through the lens of the directors vision. Once I have those elements the images appear kind of like memories. The story might take the form of a screenplay, a lyric or an ethos but the approach is the same, it’s a visual reaction to the subject through that lens.
