Whether shooting a 15 second
 spot, a documentary style video
 or a feature, the fundamentals of
 connecting with your audience
 don’t change.

Hanson Reed

cinematographer – producer

I’m a food lover who hates fluorescent lighting, enjoys open-ended questions, and knows the importance of breathing deeply. A Midwesterner by training and a wanderer by birth, I like to get my boots dirty.

 

I’ve been burning pixels (and the occasional strip of film) for the better part of a decade. I studied Film and Media Production at Taylor University and cinematography at the Global Cinematography Institute in Hollywood.
