Hi, I’m John Nicholls, a production professional specializing in lighting, camera, and on-set leadership. With over eight years as a Director of Photography, Gaffer, and various camera and G&E roles, I help teams craft visually clear and emotionally compelling stories.
I also bring more than five years as a technician in rental houses, keeping pace with the latest camera and lighting gear. My experience spans narrative, commercial, corporate, and documentary projects, and as an owner-operator I prioritize communication and collaboration to deliver high-quality work on time and on brief.
