BAILEY WATTS
. Cinematographer .
BIO
I was born on the Tweed Coast of NSW Australia, having then spent the majority of my earlier childhood years in the upper Kimberlys of Western Australia where I grew a profound love for country and engaged in an interest to what is now my career today. A Cinematographer and Operator now based across Newcastle and Sydney NSW.
With well over a decades experience in the field working across an extensive range of formats - including TV, Documentary, Commercial, Fiction, and Music - and having held primary roles and credits alongside some of the nations most recognised networks, brands and directors. This has shaped me into the skilled, multidisciplinary Cinematographer and Operator that I am today.
With documentary and music at the heart of my craft, my work carries a distinct visual style through all its formats, bringing forward a sense of simplicity and authenticity to the image.
"Bailey's unparalleled work, passion, drive, and collaborative approach, are what makes his abilities distinctive".
