REVIEWS
Shot my first spec commercial with help from DOP Camp—huge thanks to Andrew for being an incredible mentor. It was a hands-on, knowledge-packed experience that helped me create a solid portfolio piece. If you want make something nice, this is the place.
I've worked with Andrew on a number of commercial projects and he's exposed to me a wealth of knowledge in terms of lighting and cinematography. My skills have gotten much sharper working with him both on set and in post production. He continues to challenge himself while leveling everyone up around him.
Andrew is a talented cinematographer with a deep understanding of light and shadow. He collaborates closely to craft a look that captures the creative intent, building detailed lighting plans and working seamlessly with his gaffer to bring the vision to life. His cinematic style shines through every frame. It was a pleasure working with him, and I hope we collaborate again soon.
I have worked with Andrew Braunov many times over the last couple of years, Andrew has an amazing dramatic style to filmmaking and a vast knowledge of lighting and colour. He has a great attention to detail and takes pride in his work, I am excited to see him continue to work in his field and see what he creates.
Andrew is a truly passionate teacher. He knows a lot about his craft and taught me well when I was taking my first steps into the filmmaking industry. Back then, we had the chance to work together, and it was definitely a blessing.
