Simon Williamson

I am a Cinematographer who brings a passion for creating a connection between the screen and the viewer through my love of visual storytelling. I began my career in the creative industries as a music producer and DJ. I went on to have my music released on vinyl and CD's all over the world, alongside DJ slots at big festivals across the world. During this time I learnt the importance of creating a bond between creatives and an audience, appreciating the need to shape a narrative experience. These lessons have been transferred to my cinematography journey whilst learning about cameras and filming techniques.

Having started my 2nd career learning editing, grading and camera op work, I cut my teeth working on music videos and branded content, the last few years have seen me focus my attention towards my passion for narrative / scripted film and HETV. I've has already filmed a number of short films alongside a successful crowd funded TV show, A True Mismatch; now available on Amazon Prime. I also picked up a ‘Best Cinematography’ award for work on short film, ‘Need’. I'm currently involved as a Cinematographer with the Sean Connery Talent Lab, as part of NFTS Scotland, overseen by the very experienced Producer, Chris Young (Inbetweeners, Silent Roar)

I understand every project is different and that collaboration and teamwork help deliver the best visual for a project,

I'm ready to meet any challenge, big or small, working with a director and team to deliver what's best for the project. Gaining experience with every new project, I am able to manage a larger camera dept, a gaffer and grip departments, to get the job done.

Whilst I'm happy to step into projects at short notice, the earlier you get in touch, the more time we have to make sure we're delivering the type of visual your project deserves.
