Neil Oseman: Director of Photography 2021 Reel

A cinematographer with two decades’ industry experience, I have worked in the USA, Europe and Japan. Features I’ve shot include The Little Mermaid with Academy Award winner Shirley MacLaine, supernatural thriller Heretiks with Michael Ironside, and the multi-award-winning road movie Above the Clouds. I have photographed another half–dozen independent feature films, and innumerable shorts, and was nominated for six Best Cinematography awards for my work on the action/adventure series Ren: The Girl with the Mark.

At Festigious International Film Festival in both 2016 and 2017 I took home gongs, for my work on the short dramas Night Owls and Finding Hope respectively, while I won both Best Cinematography (Short, 2017) and Best Lighting (Short, Third Quarter 2017) at the Enginious Film Awards for Mark McGann’s Perplexed Music. Most recently I was named Best Cinematographer at the New York Cinematography Awards (August 2019) following my work on the fairytale short Alder.

Second only to my love of cinematography is my passion for sharing my knowledge of it here on my blog - http://neiloseman.com/blog - and on my Instagram feed -   / neiloseman   - where I often post lighting breakdowns. I also offer an advanced, in-depth course on cinematic lighting at https://www.udemy.com/course/cinemati...
