Hi All!
My name is Thomas, I am a 21 year old Australian cinematographer living and working in NYC. I completed a one year cinematography program and went straight into working (working like a dog) to try and break into the industry. I have had some relatively good success in making progress in my career and in my own personal practice. Learning a lot about lighting, camera and general artistic philosophies along the way.
In the past, I have had a few mentors in other fields, such as fashion photography, and the ability to be able to ask someone questions, grab a beer and talk about the craft we love, and to learn from masters of the craft is something I am really looking for in the cinematography world.
If there is any DP's out there that are looking to offload their knowledge and help shape a younger DP? I would seriously love to jump on that opportunity! Let me know!
