Selected work
Sydney Director of Photography Glenn Hanns ACS - twenty years of visual storytelling across feature drama, long-form documentary, and television series, distributed on Netflix, Lionsgate, Foxtel, Apple, Discovery Channel, NBC Universal and many others. Each project below represents a distinct creative collaboration: a director's vision translated into image, light, and movement from the first scout through to the grade. The work spans genres and formats, but the approach is consistent - building a visual language specific to each story, then executing it with a crew who understand why every choice was made.
