With an award winning eye for lighting and camera I have a proven track record leading production crews to deliver distinctive cinematic images. No matter the scale or budget, whether narrative, commercial, interviews or testimonials. 

I have an unrelenting commitment to the craft of visual storytelling, which I bring with my extensive technical experience and unique story perspective to every project.

Recommendations

"Stephan Dalyai is a brilliant Director of Photography. He has an artful eye, really knows how to tell story and reveal character visually, lights beautifully, and works fast. He's a joy to work and collaborate with, and his enthusiasm on set extends to the whole crew. My multi-award-winning half hour short film won a Best Cinematography award due to his work. Cannot wait to work together again."
