Dan Barham — Vancouver Director of Photography and cinematographer
Leo Award Nominee BEST
CINEMATOGRAPHY

The Filmmaker

DAN
BARHAM
DOP

Born in Manchester, UK, Dan Barham has become one of Vancouver’s most sought-after Directors of Photography — working fluidly across narrative features, brand campaigns, documentaries, music videos, and aerial work.

As an Associate Member of the Canadian Society of Cinematographers and a certified Advanced RPAS Drone Operator, Dan brings rigorous technical craft and a genuine creative vision to every project.

His Leo Award nomination for Best Cinematography reflects a body of work built on visual storytelling that prioritises the frame above everything else — whether shooting wide on a mountain, tight on a stage, or high in the air.
