Who I am
Hey there
I’m Morri Bigdeli, a Sydney based Director of Photography (DP), Cinematographer, Camera Operator, and CASA certified Drone Pilot, dedicated to creating high end cinematic visuals for documentary, commercial, travel, and broadcast productions. My work blends technical precision with visual storytelling, capturing authentic, emotionally resonant moments that connect with audiences worldwide.
My journey in cinematography began in 1997, when I studied Cinematography and Photography at the Iranian Young Cinema Society. From 1999 onward, I worked full-time in the film and television industry, contributing to over 15 feature films, 25 documentaries, and numerous cultural and television productions across Iran.
In 2007, I expanded my creative path as a director and writer for my first feature film, Behind the Gate of History, which premiered in 2009 at the Cape Winelands Film Festival in South Africa, an unforgettable milestone in my career.
Today, I specialise in cinematic storytelling, whether through large scale documentary work, branded content, commercial campaigns, or aerial cinematography. I’m passionate about capturing the rhythm of real life, those fleeting, once in a lifetime scenes that can’t be recreated. Every frame is an opportunity to reveal emotion, preserve time, and show the world as it truly is.
As a modern cinematographer and drone pilot, I combine industry, leading equipment, strong technical capability, and a deep understanding of visual language to create images that stand out across any platform, from streaming and TV broadcast to commercial and tourism campaigns.
I’m now based in Sydney, collaborating with agencies, production companies, and brands across Australia and abroad. Whether it’s a documentary expedition, a cultural series, a tourism campaign, or a commercial shoot, I’m always excited to bring new stories to life through dynamic, cinematic images.
