Ivan BIRD

Having made a name for himself as one of the UK’s most sought after cinematographers, Ivan moved into directing with a spot for Sony and within a year he’d picked up a D&AD award and has never looked back.

More than 60 ads for Canon, Nike, Mercedes, BMW, HSBC, American Airlines, BA, Shell, Smirnoff and Hovis amongst many others have brought awards, acclaim and a reputation for post production expertise, natural performances and beautiful cinematography.

Along the way he found time to light the Oscar and Bafta nominated feature film "Sexy Beast", raise some kids and hold down a Chelsea season ticket.
