CHRIS MATTHEWS - CAMERA OPERATOR


I approach camera operating with knowledge of the production process based on my past experience as an assistant director, grip, camera assistant, and electric. I can create a look that is both unique and consistent with current styles in film and television. My aim is to camera operate on a long term series, and contribute to the vision of a production.
