Nick Harris is a cinematographer and filmmaker from the UK, currently based in New York City. Focused on documentary work, he has a particular love for the intimacy and unpredictability of vérité shooting and is most compelled by character-driven stories. More than anything, he enjoys meeting people in unfamiliar places, and translating those encounters and the stories they reveal to the screen is the most exciting thing in the world to him.

He began pursuing filmmaking after completing an undergraduate degree in history, and most recently finished a one-year documentary program at the New York Film Academy. Having directed and shot a number of his own short films, as well as serving other small productions as Director of Photography, he’s now seeking opportunities to offer camera support to purposeful and empathetic projects and continue to develop his craft.

Filmmaking has so far led him to sleeping on the pool table of a bar in rural Nevada with a skunk for a roommate, driving a group of elementary schoolers 500 miles in a day for a surprise graduation appearance, and shooting in the New York State Senate Chamber in Albany. He’s just getting started, and is super excited to keep chasing these experiences behind the camera.
