( 03 ) About

There’s nothing more interesting than real life. I started as a graphic designer, found film through special effects, and never stopped looking for the truth in a frame.

Jamie Azar is an Austin-based Director of Photography who thinks writing about yourself in the third person is a pretty silly thing to do — so: I love working with artists, musicians, creatives and anyone with a point of view worth sharing.

My specialty is reality television and documentary, across loads of genres. Design is where my love of filmmaking began, and it’s been a constant ever since.
