RON KOLUMBUS
FREELANCE VIDEO CAMERAMAN / DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
M.F.A. Film Directing – Columbia University
B.F.A. Motion Picture Studies – Ryerson University
As a cameraman, I feel it’s very important to develop a strong synergy with the Director, to fully understand his message, and develop a visual style and technique that will communicate that idea in an innovative and resourceful way. They say every story has been told: but the way one can light it, is infinite. I thrive in the manipulation of light and shadow, and enjoy the challenge of supporting narrative themes and storylines through visual motifs and imagery.
My professional background experience spans 20 years freelancing for such Broadcast facilities as Fox Sports, T.S.N., NHL Productions, Reuters, NBC, RAI TV International, CNN, CNBC and The Discovery Channel. My credits also include Director of Photography on the Television Series ‘High Point Casinos’ of the world hosted by Kenny Rogers; D.P./ Cameraman on the TV Series ‘Drifters’ on O.L.N; Cameraman on ‘Mission Adventure’ aired on O.L.N., Director of Photography on the reality home renovation series ‘The Outhouse’ aired on OLN, and ‘The Sex Files’ for CTV.
