Conor Connolly | Director of Photography, Lighting Camera Operator, Camera, Camera Operator

My career started loading film into cameras on Royal College Of Art short films.

I went on to spend the late eighties and early nineties assisting on the likes of The South Bank Show, World In Action and The Media Show, before taking three years out to go back to film school, and whilst at the NFTS, I won the Kodak Young Cinematographer Of The Year award.

Since graduating from there in 1998, I’ve been lucky enough to shoot everything from commercials to comedy, branded content, music videos, arts documentaries, and food programming, to multi-screen immersive installations for museums, heritage and visitor attractions.

In 2007 I was honoured to be nominated for a D&AD Yellow Pencil for my work on The Cinematic Orchestra track “To Build A Home ”.

Through 2019, I lead up M&S Food’s biggest online campaign, “What’s New At M&S “, with the wonderful team at ITN Productions Advertising.

Through all that time, I’ve been privileged to meet, collaborate, and most importantly learn from some truly amazing people from all across the globe, everywhere from the slums of Dakar to Pinewood Studios.

Proud to be an active member of BAFTA, and a Fellow of the RSA.
