Peter Nicoll(II)
- Camera and Electrical Department
- Cinematographer
- Director
Based in Washington, DC and with over 24 years of experience specializing in commercial, documentary, narrative, and lifestyle, Peter relies on his deep sense of empathy, self-awareness, and his ability to merge his own humanity with the sacred and the profane to reflect his own unique view on the world. Well-traveled, he has filmed across the U.S. and internationally and is well prepared for on-set conditions that can change at any given moment. While extremely adept at grasping delicate ideas and finding ways to visualize them, his blend of leadership and love of innovation help create an even, balanced, working set. The result yields striking images, happy, effective crews and the pieces needed to craft the story. Peter is always investing in, and looking for, the best tools that he can implement, customizing their use to each specific project. As important as the technology is, Peter looks past that and relies on his experience and intuition. "The technical skills grant me the ability to understand the process of the craft, but it is really my personal experiences and emotional connection to the process that allow me the ability to solve problems and create solutions. I lean into what the scenes are giving me to deliver striking images."
