Hi, I’m Aidan Gibson, a freelance Director/Shooter based in Dublin. I shoot on a Sony FX9, A7SIII, and a Mavic 3 (fully licensed pilot), and I also teach Cinematography at Griffith College. I work primarily in online content but I also handle documentary, film, and other media projects, collaborating with a range of production companies and agencies. I run RIOT as the owner, providing shooting, editing, graphics, and audio services while building strong client relationships and coordinating additional freelancers as needed. I’m passionate about storytelling through image and motion, and I enjoy mentoring students and professionals to elevate their craft.
