Robert Sherwood is an award-winning cinematographer, born in the Northern Rivers of NSW, Australia. Rob’s films have screened at Festivals around the world, and was awarded Gold for his passion film ‘Black Moon’ at The Australian Cinematography Society Awards, NSW and Gold for Community Music Video ‘Mayali’ at The National Indigenous Music Awards, 2021.
Rob enjoys the perspective that comes from being an observer, and for him, observation without judgement is true feeling. This is what he aims to convey through his visuals – a feeling of truth. Rob’s bond with nature and the sea are a huge catalyst for his style of cinematography.
“Creating films that vibrate a deeper knowingness.
Living in the moment, feeling and feeding off the flow of life.
It’s an abundant infinite realm of wonder and we’re getting amongst it.”
