Brian O Leary
Based between Dublin, Bristol and Amsterdam
I split my time between working on blue-chip natural history documentaries and also high-end historical documentaries, both in as an Assistant Producer and Director of Photography. Most notably, on the multi-award-winning, Emmy nominated Wild Ireland -The Edge of The World, The Game - The Story of Hurling and The Hunger: The Story of The Irish Famine.
My experience thus far has allowed me to develop an extensive knowledge of 4K shooting in both observational and stylised approaches, on a wide variety of cameras including the Arri Amira, RED Dragon, Sony FS7-FX9, Sony F55, Canon C700, Phantom 4K Flex, and the Phantom 4 Pro and Inspire 2 Drones.
I have an EU driving license, am experienced in off-road driving, and am a qualified drone operator.

Emre Izat | Head of Non Fiction - Netflix
'Brian is an absolute gem of a find - he has a phenomenal work ethic, a natural eye, and an insatiable appetite for improvement. He also has the best attitude in the field, suffers through biting insects and scalding sun with a broad smile and a song on his lips. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.'
