CINEMATOGRAPHER IAN KERR csc IATSE Local 669 BIOGRAPHY

From the jungles of New Guinea to the ice floes of Canada's Arctic to the thin air of the Argentinean Andes, Ian can be found telling award-winning stories through spectacular images.

Ian’s work straddles the gulf between fiction and non-fiction, documentary and scripted drama. His assignments range from meticulously executed national commercials to dynamic, sixteen-camera unscripted projects, month-long arctic and mountaineering expeditions and stylish period dramas.

Often employing innovative techniques and equipment, Ian works with a wide range of cameras including Red, Arri, Sony and Phantom. He has extensive experience with motion- control time lapse, remote head, helicopter and drone aerial and stabilized gimbal systems. Ian is also a certified Cineflex and Steadicam operator.

A former adjunct professor of Advanced Cinematography at UBC and SFU, Ian also contributes to publications including The New York Times and Canadian Cinematographer.

Ian holds a US 01 visa and is active mountaineer, married father of two children and enjoys cyclocross racing.
