Elana O’Neill

Cinematographer

Cinematography is my passion for bringing the visuals in my mind to life on screen. My creative process is unconventional; I start with visuals, letting them guide the characters and story. I’m particularly drawn to character-based narratives, where the cinematography reflects and deepens the characters’ emotional journey.

I admire films like The King of Comedy, Black Swan, and Bronson for their ability to blend striking visuals with intense character exploration. These films use cinematography to mirror the psyche of their protagonists, immersing audiences in their struggles and their world through the characters’ eyes, perspectives and psychology.
