Calgary-Based | Sony FX6 | Available Nationwide
Rylan McCarthy
Rylan is a Calgary-based cinematographer and graduate of Vancouver Film School, available for hire on productions across Canada. With experience working on commercial, documentary, feature production, and branded content, I bring a flexible, production-ready approach to every project, whether on set as a camera operator or as part of a larger crew. I love collaborating with others and strongly believe that bringing talented people together to work as a team creates better and more powerful results and stories. My work includes projects with brands and organizations such as TELUS, Climate Nexus, and Travel Alberta, where I’ve contributed to high-end storytelling across commercial and tourism-focused campaigns.
