Mat Sunderland
Director of Photography / DOP | Camera Operator | Filmmaker

With over two decades of experience, I have honed my craft as a versatile Director of Photography and filmmaker, bringing stories to life in the most challenging and diverse environments. Whether it’s filming breathtaking landscapes atop mountains, diving into the depths underwater, or capturing interviews in tiny, windowless rooms, my goal is always to deliver exceptional visuals with any equipment at my disposal.

As a freelance DOP since 2005, I have worked across various formats, from commercials and corporate films to documentaries and live events. I’ve filmed for renowned brands such as Berghaus, Speedo, Jaguar Land Rover, and The National Gallery, as well as collaborated with high-profile clients like the Rothschilds and the Metropolitan Police. My work spans multiple genres, from shooting high-octane car chases with the Metropolitan Police to intimate patient testimonials for Roche, showcasing my adaptability and attention to detail.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, often flying solo with a compact setup that allows me to capture high-quality content on the go. Whether it’s setting up complex multi-camera shoots or handling tight spaces with creative lighting, I am prepared to tackle any production challenge head-on.

I am a skilled camera operator with extensive experience working with various cameras including the FX9, FX6, RED Komodo, and BMPCC 6K. Additionally, I am a fully insured drone operator and regularly incorporate aerial shots into my work. Whether in the studio or on location, I work seamlessly with a range of lighting equipment, from LED rigs to tungsten, ensuring the perfect look for every project.

Recent highlights include filming for global organizations such as The Global Citizen, Jo Malone, and Waddesdon, as well as notable films for the UN and Rothschild Foundation. Notable projects include high-profile commercials, music videos, and intricate documentaries like The History of the Rothschilds and In Pursuit of Vikings, which showcase my diverse skill set and storytelling ability.
