I am Morgan Péline, a French cinematographer trained at the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in the UK. I honed lighting for studio, location, and commercial work, and filmed in 35mm, Arri RAW, Red RAW, and various digital formats. Under the mentorship of Brian Tufano BSC and Billy Williams BSC, I also earned a degree from the Northern Film School. Since 2007 I have amassed over 25 years of experience shooting feature films, documentaries, music videos, web series, corporate films, and VR 360° projects across the UK, Asia, the United States, and Australia. I blend technical expertise with a passion for teaching, having designed curricula and mentored students for institutions such as the Open University of Hong Kong and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. I speak English, French, Cantonese, and basic Mandarin, and have worked on projects in the UK, Asia, the United States, and Australia. My teaching roles include Assistant Professor at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (2023–2025) and Senior Lecturer across multiple Hong Kong and Singapore institutions (2012–2022), where I designed curricula and led lectures and workshops in cinematography, lighting, camera, and film production.
