Behind the camera.

I'm Ian Snape, a UK based Director of Photography and camera operator working across documentary, sport and commercial film.

My approach is cinematic but grounded in real people, real environments and honest moments. Whether I'm following a story as it unfolds or building a more considered visual approach, I'm always looking for images that feel natural, purposeful and connected to the story.

Based in Birmingham and London, I work across the UK with production companies, directors, agencies and brands.
