About Me
Cinematographer. Filmmaker. Storyteller.
Hi, I’m David Recordon. Yes, that is my surname.
As a Director of Photography, I’ve had the privilege of working with iconic brands like Mazda, Bundaberg, TipTop, Mitre10, Tourism BOP, and Fonterra. My passion lies in blending technical expertise with creative vision to craft compelling visuals, whether it’s for commercial TVCs, brand stories, or documentaries.
I thrive on the fast-paced nature of the content world and bring adaptability and enthusiasm to every project. To me, being a DOP isn’t just a career, it’s the best job in the world.
