CONTACT Giles- 0033 (0)6 30 83 03 92, gilescornah@gmail.com
Born in the Seychelles and raised in the UK, my life and work have taken me across a varied landscape: studios, mountains, families and war zones.
I enjoy the creative and practical sides of the work in equal measure: developing visual ideas, collaborating with others and finding solutions.
I work across commercials, documentary and television, with an interest in projects that offer something distinctive, whether through their subject, their visual language or the people involved.
Based in the French Alps, working internationally. Bilingual English and French.
Né aux Seychelles et ayant grandi au Royaume-Uni, mon parcours personnel et professionnel m'a amené à évoluer dans des univers très variés : studios, montagnes, familles et zones de conflit.
J'apprécie autant les aspects créatifs que pratiques de mon métier : développer des idées visuelles, collaborer avec les autres et trouver des solutions.
Je travaille dans les domaines de la publicité, du documentaire et de la télévision, avec un intérêt particulier pour les projets qui ont quelque chose de singulier, que ce soit par leur sujet, leur langage visuel ou les personnes qui les portent.
Basé dans les Alpes françaises, je travaille en France et à l'international. Bilangue Anglais et français.
THREE WAYS OF WORKING TOGETHER
Freelance Director of Photography
For production projects, I join established creative teams as a cinematographer, collaborating with directors and production companies to develop and execute the visual language of a film.
Creative Filmmaker
For branded content, I work with agencies and creative teams from the initial idea through to the final film—bringing together creative direction, visual storytelling, and cinematography.
Stills Photography
I also work in stills, creating considered imagery for brands and editorial projects. I have a particular preference for analogue capture, drawn to its tactile quality and natural character.
