ETIENNE LEUNG
Director of photography
Photo by Kinho Lam
“I know a lot of DPs who do photography and their photography just seems a literal copy of their cinematography where everything looks like a movie still. Her work is very photographic, displaying an understanding of each mediums’ strength.”
- Japan Camera Hunter
Born and raised in Hong Kong. Studied graphic design at Central Saint Martins, then furthered her studies through MA Cinematography at Met Film School, followed by a Masterclass with Oscar Documentarian Kirsten Johnson at The University of Hong Kong.
Came from an illustration & Chinese ink painting background. Having spent time living abroad, Etienne enjoys working in a multicultural environment, therefore always hoping to get involved with more narrative projects as the industry becomes more inclusive.
