Director of Photography Bath: Kris Brady's Cinematic Vision
Director of Photography Bath: Kris Brady
I started out as a shooting PD in the world of television, before spending a number of years as a director. Directing was fun but I just couldn't give up the camera bug - I was far more drawn to what I was doing with the camera, rather than what a director should be doing overall with the piece. Subsequently I decided to focus all of my efforts into cinematography and have never looked back. I spend my time now working as a director of photography in Bath, as well as the rest of the UK, and I also do some work as a photographer. It's a busy job, but I feel lucky to be able to travel the world, as well as working more locally in the UK and Bath.
Shooting in Bath
Bath is amazing for both cinematography and photography. It's famous the world over for it's breathtaking architecture and rich history, with plenty of filming and photography locations. I love spending time exploring the beautiful streets of Bath - taking stills is a really important way to sharpen your skills as a DOP and I think all cinematographers should take the time to do this.
Resources and learning
There are some great resources for young DOPs and aspiring cinematographers to learn the craft. Online tutorials and masterclasses are a great way for a DOP to learn. Practicing photography is one of the best ways as photography hones your craft down to one image. Photography is also a great way to showcase to directors your skills. as a director of photography you will be working with a director closely and you should be able to have detailed conversations about photography to choose a direction for your next DOP job.
