Read MoreErin Haynes is a cinematographer, camera operator, and camera technician working across air, sea, and land. Specializing in underwater and aerial cinematography, she combines technical precision with a strong editorial eye to create immersive, visually driven work in demanding environments.
From serving as a jib technician on the Michael Kors and Tory Burch Autumn/Winter 2025 fashion shows, to camera assisting underwater for Apple TV+’s Your Friends & Neighbors, to operating drones in the Louisiana swamp wetlands, Erin brings adaptability, curiosity, and cinematic storytelling into every production she steps onto.Her journey behind the camera began in high school after taking a film studies course centered around women filmmakers, which opened her eyes to the lack of female representation behind the lens. Inspired to help change that, Erin committed herself fully to the craft — building her foundation through camera rental house experience, hands-on set work, technical training, and mentorship from veteran industry professionals.
Alongside her creative work, Erin has developed advanced technical skills across camera systems, Adobe Creative Suite, drone operations, and live broadcast environments. She is FAA drone certified, SDI Open Water Scuba certified, and continues to expand her knowledge through workshops and training with industry leaders including ARRI and Panavision.
When she is not filming, Erin channels her adventurous spirit through surfing, aerial silks, travel, and exploring her home of New York City — experiences that continue to shape her perspective as both an artist and storyteller.
