Neil Oseman

I am a cinematographer with over 20 years’ experience. I’ve shot 12 features as main unit DP, including the upcoming Hamlet starring Sir Ian McKellen, 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. Currently in post-production are the comedy Harvey Greenfield is Running Late, the horror film The Stranger, and a contemporary adaption of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. I have also photographed more short films than I can count!

In 2016-17 I was nominated for six Best Cinematography awards around the world for the action/adventure series Ren: The Girl with the Mark. Since then I have won 16 cinematography awards for short films, ten of those for Annabel Lee, a period piece based on the poem by Edgar Allen Poe.

Second only to my love of cinematography is my passion for sharing knowledge of it. I have given workshops and lectures to audiences of all kinds, from students to professionals, for such organisations as the British Fim Institute and the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers. I write regularly for British Cinematographer (the official magazine of the BSC), RedShark News and my own blog, and I post a lighting breakdown every Friday on my highly popular Instagram feed.
