Marty Williams

Cinematographer Marty Williams has aimed his camera at everything from landscapes to South Auckland Shakespearians The Black Friars. Williams was a prolific shooter for arts shows The Gravy and The Living Room, and shared a Best Cinematography Qantas Award for maverick lawyer documentary Lost in Wonderland. Sometimes credited as Martyn Williams, the South Seas Film and TV School graduate also framed gang member short Day Trip, and has done acclaimed work on adverts (often collaborating with director Mark Albiston) and music videos (Phoenix Foundation, Little Bushman).

Marty's backbone in documentary has given him an eye to shape light in a raw, beautiful fashion that feels achingly authentic. He can light a set to look a million bucks without emptying the lighting truck, and that's something cinematographers can only achieve with experience and talent. Director Louis Sutherland
