Water Ripples

 

“Any country, any town, any project, the man you want on, behind, over, under or just generally around camera is Shaun Henning.  Shaun can find a frame, make the light, hit the mark and make things work - even when things shouldn’t work at all. I have had the privilege to work with Shaun for more than 25 years on a broad spectrum of projects under every conceivable circumstance around the world.

We have undertaken documentary, commercial, corporate, sport, and live stage presentations and in every case, Shaun has delivered as the consummate professional. I’ve seen him work as well with children and elders, as he does with the homeless and the rich and powerful.  

 

We have worked on an amazing variety of productions under some very difficult environmental conditions and often under very tight timelines.  He has always delivered.  Shaun Henning is the go-to-guy on any project in any situation and comes with my highest possible recommendation.”

“As a film director you strive to find a DP that is an extension of your creative ethos, someone who can not only execute your vision but provide creative solutions when you need them.

Someone who knows your style and thought process which will ultimately translate on the screen. Shaun Henning is that DP.  When you see his name on any call sheet you know he has your back in all aspects of the creative process.”

“I’ve worked with Shaun for over 3 decades, and there is no DP I trust more. Shaun is an excellent operator, a workhorse, but maybe most of all, a true professional. Shaun is concerned with what serves the project above all else and it shows in the quality of his work and the quality of the experience working alongside him. There is no project too big or too small, every job gets his full care and attention.

 

Shaun is an incredible problem solver, always finding solutions to the never ending challenges of production. Bottom line, Shaun is someone you want in your corner on your shoot.”

“We always strive to work with the most talented people. Saying that, work ethic and being a good person are far more paramount.

In the twenty years I’ve had the good fortune of collaborating with him, Shaun Henning has been a go-to Director of Photography, an idea instigator and more importantly, a friend. As talented as he is at his craft, he’s a better person.

 

If Shaun doesn’t improve the quality of your production, you might want to look in the mirror. Just don’t tell him I said this…”
