BIO
GRAHAM GS
Associate member CSC
Graham GS is a cinematographer driven by storytelling and creating complex atmosphere. He began his career in 2015 by co-founding a production company that evolved into Les Orphelins, a collective of filmmakers dedicated to bold, striking images.
Since then, he has worked across music videos, commercials, short films, and features — including Woodland Grey (2018) and Hall (2019). His technical mastery of lighting, paired with a sharp artistic vision, allows him to craft deep, atmospheric images that evoke emotions.
Working closely with directors, Graham is known for his ability to translate stories into visuals that are both raw and poetic. His signature lies in creating immersive atmospheres that stay with the audience long after the screen fades to black.
