Neil Lisk Bio

Born and raised in England, Neil has spent the last 19 years in the United States establishing himself as a successful cinematographer. He has photographed award winning music videos, commercials and over a dozen feature films.

From the castles of Spain to the dirt streets of Pakistan, visual story telling is Neil’s passion and it has taken him around the country and around world. Whether it’s shooting mini-DV from the back of a pick up truck or 35mm in the back lot of a major Hollywood studio, Neil has always striven to tell the directors story.

Recent work includes the remake of I Spit On Your Grave which will be hitting theaters this fall and The Colonels Bride which is having a successful run on the film festival circuit, as well as an article for Neil in Kodak’s international publication In Camera Magazine.

Neil would best describe his approach to cinematography as that of a realist, with some of his biggest influences being the work of Edward Hopper, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, and still photographer Robert Frank. Whether it’s a canvas or a black and white print, all these artists were able to capture the mood of the subject they were observing, and that is what Neil strives for with every frame he shoots.
