CinematographerCarter Hewlett
London, United KingdomFreelance
Freelance cinematographer based in the U.K & available worldwide. Currently shooting commercials, music videos and branded content for a huge variety of clients. Recent clients include Adidas, Reebok, Unilever, Jaguar, LadBible and LaTam Airlines.
I love working closing with directors to really find out their truest vision for a project/story. This allows me the ability to create the best imagery for particular story. I also pride myself on being able to achieve a high level of work regardless of budget and time constraints.
Having worked in the industry for over a decade I've built up a strong network of extremely talented camera and lighting crew. Surrounding myself with such talented and passionate crew allows me to push the limits of what could often be seen as unachievable on set due to the various and often unforeseen challenges that crop up in production.
I own and operate a large amount of industry standard equipment from a Red 6K cinema camera right down to wireless video monitoring equipment. Whilst I do own a lot of kit some jobs often still require hiring in equipment from a rental house. Having hired so many times over the years I've built a great relationship with several rental house across London.
