TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve worked with Will for many years across branded content and commercials. He has the perfect balance that combines an instinctive eye for remarkable visuals, and an attitude to work that effortlessly syncs with client expectations. As a shooter, I think his talent is incredibly rare. His eye for detail, for beauty and composition is outstanding. The ideas and talent he brings to a project is always a breath of fresh air.
He has a highly professional, adaptable and approachable attitude on set. On every shoot, my clients, contributors and the rest of the crew always come away from with Will in high regard, and that’s why he’s one of my favourite people to work with.”
— NEIL ROSTANCE (FAT FREE MEDIA)
Will came highly recommended by BFI producers — and he did not disappoint. He was the Director of Photography on my proof-of-concept short Arcade 1987, which received a feature distribution offer even before its release — a testament to Will J. Carman’s incredible talent.
Will is a joy to collaborate with: easy to talk to, full of creative ideas, and always ready with quick, effective solutions. His speed and efficiency on set are remarkable — not once did we have to wait for lighting.
He has a genuine thirst for creativity and a passion for developing original ideas. Along with his fantastic crew. That passion is infectious and shines through in every project he takes on. I would love to work with Will again — his dedication, artistry, and commitment truly give a project wings.
