Matthew Sefton | Lighting Cameraman | Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester, Derby

ABOUT

I am a UK-based DOP and lighting cameraman with over 15 years of experience shooting commercial, branded, social, and documentary content.

Bringing energy, expertise, and fresh ideas to productions big and small, I draw from a wide range of experiences from shooting projects all over the world.

I am both collaborative and versatile in environments that demand meticulous planning, structured shot design, and creative lighting setups to achieve the desired cinematic look. Additionally, I am skilled in smaller-scale documentary-style productions, where a strong editorial perspective, quick decision-making, and fast lighting are key.

If you'd like to collaborate on your upcoming project it would be great to hear from you.

BRANDS I'VE WORKED WITH

KITLIST

As an owner-operator of a range of gear, I can tailor a kit specifically suited to your production's needs.

Equally, I have no issues using equipment supplied by production or through rental. I have strong connections with rental houses to source any additional or alternative equipment that a project may require.

I'm connected with a talented network of creative and dependable crews when the production scope requires it.
