I am an American living in London with over 15 years experience working in the film and television industry.  The majority of those years have been spent behind the camera working as a cinematographer for mostly non-fiction and commercial projects.  I have worked on numerous projects over the years that have appeared in places like Sundance and Tribeca as well as on channels like Netflix, HBO, PBS, and Vice.  I have a MFA in Cinematography from UCLA's film program in America, as well as an MA in Television Journalism from City, University of London in the UK. 

I also have a full documentary camera and lighting package available for hire here in London.  A complete list of my gear (and credits) can be found on my website: www.jwschwarz.com
