Jamie Azar

Jamie Azar is an Austin, Texas area based Director of Photography who thinks that writing about yourself in third person is a pretty silly thing to do.

For me, there is nothing more interesting than real life, which is why I’m drawn to documentary filming that shines a light on some sort of truth. I love to work with artists, musicians, creatives and anyone who has a point of view worth sharing. I want to be there with a camera when the magic happens, all while making a little magic of my own.

I have twenty years of professional industry experience in loads of genres, but my specialty lies in reality television and documentary. I started in the arts as a graphic designer and slowly but surely moved over to film through making special effects in indie movies. So for me, design is where my love for filmmaking started and it’s been a constant throughout my personal and professional life.
