About me
Hi I'm William Knights and I'm a London-based DOP with extensive experience. I'm dedicated to the art of craft of cinematography having spent may years honing my skills as a visual storyteller across a wide-range of productions. These include: Commercials, Corporate Films, Documentaries, Music Videos and Narrative.I've worked with most of the leading contemporary digital cinema cameras including: Alexa, RED Epic, Amira, Epic, C300, FS7, Blackmagic, Varicam 35. I've also shot with a variety of other cameras (far too many to mention!)
I very much see my role as bringing production value to a project and providing innovative solutions to maximise the available budget. I enjoy working with Directors to flesh-out a particular vision and translating these into achievable setups whilst in production. I love to create a visual language for my projects that is designed around the emotional context of the scene; images that serve the narrative.
If you would like to discuss a project with me I'd be delighted to hear from you. Please also check out my work below.
