Denson Baker

Auckland-born cinematographer Denson Baker moved to Australia while still a child. Since then his award-studded career has balanced down under work, with shoots across the globe. Triple nominated for autism drama The Black Balloon, he would score awards with his fourth feature: the Indian-shot Waiting City, starring Joel Edgerton and directed by Baker's future wife Claire McCarthy. Baker also shot Kiwi short Lambs.

I want the audience to feel like they were there in Kolkata, India with the characters; to feel it, smell it and taste it.
