Japan based Cinematographer/Storyteller
Matthew Allard ACS
​
I am a passionate storyteller who firmly believes that a picture can tell a thousand words.
I have been a cameraman/editor for 33 years and have filmed in more than 50 countries around the world. I have covered major breaking international news stories including natural disasters, wars, and humanitarian issues.
I offer a unique eye and perspective to any production and specialize in telling human interest stories.
​
I can provide a wide range of equipment and services for any type of production in Japan or overseas.
​
I am only the 350th Australian to have been accredited by the ACS (Australian Cinematographers Society).
Recently I was the DP of ​the feature length documentary Hokusai: Old Man Crazy to Paint, the A camera operator for "Wild Squad Adventures" which is on permanent display at Taroga Zoo in Sydney on a custom 25 metre wide 270° screen, and the DP for the Japan episode of World's Most Extrodinary Homes
I am also the Editor & Co-owner of Newsshooter.com
