Mark Caldwell is a highly experienced London-based cinematographer with nearly two decades’ experience of working in films, music videos, commercials and corporate videos. He started out in the mid ‘90s with theatrical lighting, steadily progressing to film lighting in the late ‘90s with the UCL Film Society (Christopher Nolan). While continuing to work as a camera and lighting technician, he studied and qualified in computer science and engineering before moving on to the Metropolitan Film School, Ealing Studios, to advance his knowledge in film-making.

In 2006, after being taught by and working with Paul Wheeler BSC, Mark became a fully professional Director of Photography having previously worked on countless productions as either a camera operator or lighting technician. Since Mark was originally trained on celluloid and with a background in computer engineering, he found himself in a unique opportunity between 2007 to 2009 as a ‘HD Specialist’, working for clients including D-Cinema, Panavision, Arri, Warner Studios, and many others. The contractual work was to aid the crossover of traditional filmmaking from celluloid to digital cinematography via the testing, demonstrating and developing of new workflows with the newly emerging high-end digital film cameras.
