About Austin Liu

LA-Based Videographer | Photographer

Austin Liu is a Los Angeles–based aspiring cinematographer, videographer, and visual storyteller. He has worked on videography projects and short films, and is pursuing a career in cinematography with the goal of one day shooting films and music videos as a director of photography. His interests span many parts of the filmmaking process, especially cinematography, camera work, camera assisting, and lighting and gaffer work. He is drawn to the technical and creative collaboration of filmmaking and to the role that camera and lighting play in shaping the emotional language of a story.

Photography, while more personal in nature, has been a passion of his since childhood.

Although he enjoys many forms of photography, he is especially interested in street photography, candid moments, and experimenting with light in spontaneous and creative ways.
