Adrian Cranage - Director of Photography
Whilst remaining creative, motivated and inspired at all stages of the filmmaking process, Adrian’s passion for filmmaking is fundamentally fuelled by his desire to be true and honest to 'The Story'. Adrian has over 20 years experience in the photographic/film industry. Born in San Francisco (USA), he spent most of his childhood growing up in various countries overseas. After returning to Australia in his late teens, Adrian completed his photographic studies in Australia in 1989. He then promptly set out for the US where he lived and worked as a photographer for several years. In 1995 he arrived in Germany spending the next decade climbing the camera department ‘ladder’. In 2009 he completed as DoP his first feature film "Iron Cross" (starring the late Academy awards nominated Roy Schneider). He has since gone on to shoot several more feature films. Adrian has also shot many commercials, music videos and several TV films. In addition to Features and TV films, he was the Additional Main Unit DOP on "Homeland" Season 5. Adrian lives in Berlin.
