Philip Bloom is a world-renowned, award-winning filmmaker who, for the past 17 years of his 34-year career, has specialised in creating incredible cinematic images no matter what the camera.  Some of his most iconic work was created with Canon DSLRs. As one of the most prominent evangelists for their use in productions, his website became the place to go for budding filmmakers and experienced ones keen to embrace the new technology.

His use of Canon DSLRs to shoot part of Lucasfilms’ last movie, “Red Tails”, proved a huge point to the naysayers. This technology proved very viable in large-scale productions.

Philip has kept up with the advent of newer tools, which are constantly changing. He currently owns and is available for hire with a Sony FX6, FX3, RED Komodo, Sony A7S III, Sony Alpha 1 and many others.

He is very well known for his in-depth video reviews of various cameras, and his YouTube channel has over 265,000 subscribers.

He has worked for all the major UK broadcasters, such as the BBC, ITV, C4 and Sky, countless independent production companies and many others worldwide, including CNN, CBS, Discovery, FOX and NBC. 

Independent projects are essential to Philip, and he splits his time between bigger projects and small independent ones. One of his most successful independent projects was “How To Start A Revolution”, which won a BAFTA in 2012 and was awarded prizes at several film festivals, including Best Documentary at the 2011 Raindance festival.

His reputation for using small drones like the DJI Phantom and Inspire 1 was cemented when he won Best Travel Film at the 2015 New York City Drone Film Festival for his short film in Thailand, “Koh Yao Noi”. He has since used drones in several projects, including CNN's "The Wonder List." 

In 2019, he won the best cinematography award for “Salient Minus Ten” at the 2019 Stormy Weather Horror Fest. Also, in 2019, his documentary “The Skiathos Cats” won best documentary at the 2019 Arcosanti Film Festival.

He is constantly stretching his creative abilities and experimenting with new technology.  His sizeable social media following on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are frequently used to help and educate filmmakers of all skill levels.

In addition to his online educational work, he frequently travels around the world, teaching young and old filmmakers better techniques through technology and better storytelling skills. His workshops have been an enormous success worldwide, and he will continue to run them for as long as possible, as learning never stops.

He has also made two highly successful online cinematography courses for MZed. “Philip Bloom’s Cinematic Masterclass” and “Filmmaking for Photographers”
