+27 72 293 9504 Nationality: UK citizen [email protected]DOB: 15/08/82 www.christiandenslow.com I was born just outside London. After studying Fine Art and Photography I worked as a studio photographer before moving to Cape Town to study Cinematography. After graduating from film school I began my career in the film industry as a Digital Imaging Technician. Being one of the first to work in this position in Cape Town I enjoyed a career close to camera, providing support to successful DP’s on the latest digital technologies, and becoming a local favorite to DP’s such as Anthony Dod Mantle. During this period I worked for most of the largest commercials production companies, such as Moonlighting, Farm Films, Velocity, Orange Films, etc. A few years ago I began to focus on my goal as Director of Photography. This decision has seen me lensing commercials for companies such as Giant Films, Silverlining Productions, Casta Diva (Moonlighting), Bang Bang Films, etc. for clients as big as Coca Cola and Chevrolet. As well as remaining dedicated to creating award winning independent film with a focus on festival releases, winning local awards such as a 2015 SAFTA and various international awards at festival. In the past year I have combined my technical knowledge, creative eye and love for the mountains working on sponsored mountain sport documentaries for The African Attachment. This takes me to remote locations around the world carrying full camera packages in my pack to create engaging cinematic narratives. This portfolio of work has led to me recently DPing for Academy Award winning director Morgan Neville. I am currently based in Johannesburg & Cape Town, South Africa. I am also available for work in London and have an agent in Bangkok.
