Ben Newman
Director · Cinematographer · Editor
I make films for outdoor brands, athletes and endurance events, with a focus on running, trail running, cycling, hiking, mountains and adventure.
I'm interested in the stories behind the sport. The training, the effort, the early starts, the weather, the places people go and the reasons they keep going back. Whatever the project, I want people to actually feel something when they watch it. Motivated, inspired, or just reminded why they do what they do.
I also operate FPV drones, which is one way I capture movement, speed and perspective in outdoor environments.
Most of the projects in this portfolio have been taken from idea to final edit by me, which means I can help shape the creative as well as capture it. I'm also co-founder of Ooman Studios, a small London-based production company. Whether that means working solo, leading a shoot or slotting into a wider crew or agency setup, I'm comfortable across all of it.
I'm based in London and available to travel for the right project. I'm also available on a freelance basis for brand, agency and production company projects, whether that's as a Director, Cinematographer, Editor or FPV operator. If you're working on something in that world and think there could be a fit, I'd love to hear about it.
