James O Reilly Dublin/Wicklow/Nationwide, Ireland

I started out in the industry as a camera assistant and spent 8 years picking up lighting & shooting techniques working with some of the best D.O.P.’s in the business.

In 2008 I decided to take the plunge and step up to the sharp end and become a D.O.P. / Lighting Cameraman. Since then I have travelled the world capturing beautiful images in a wide range of situations, from UNESCO World heritage sites such as Mont-Saint-Michel in France to hostile front-line productions with Homeland Security in U.S.A. & National Police in the United Kingdom & Ireland.

I am quick and decisive and adept at using available light. I also understand the needs of filming for social media and how to frame shots that can be used landscape, portrait and square.

As a Director/Cameraman I have shot both commercials and content and pride myself of being able to get great performances from people who haven’t been in front of the camera before.

My focus is content, not my own importance and have many examples of problem solving tools which can help in stressful situations. I carry, one of my best tools, a sense of humour, at all times.

Below is my contact details, please drop me a line about your project – always happy to chat.
