I am a cinematographer and filmmaker based in Sydney, with a diverse background spanning large-scale film and TV commercial productions, as well as social content, documentary, and art projects. I am familiar with fast-paced fashion production, having been part of a team that produced lifestyle content for Citizen Wolf — a custom clothing brand — on a monthly basis. I’ve also created more stylised fashion films for brands like Paloma Wool. I’m genuinely excited by the opportunity to collaborate with a brand that wants to elevate its visual identity and craft a bold, distinctive aesthetic. At the end of the day, I’m a people person — maintaining clear, healthy, and enjoyable collaboration is my top priority. I thrive when working with other creative people and love developing ideas together as a team. Please check out my website to see some of my previous work: jessephillipsdop.com I’m looking forward to hearing from you — I’d love to discuss this opportunity in person and can be available at your convenience. Thanks, Jesse
