JORDAN FEDERICI

I was raised in South Auckland, New Zealand where life was tough and opportunities were scarce. Sadly, I never knew my parents, and growing up without any guidance was a challenge. But, despite the odds, I found cinematography, and it unlocked a fire of passion inside me.
 

I was fascinated by the art of storytelling through film and video. As a young teenager I saved every cent I had to buy a second hand camera and after I finally had enough to purchase it, I would spend hours creating and editing videos, experimenting with different angles, and lighting techniques. The more I created, the more I realised that cinematography was my calling.
 

As I got older, I began to realize that cinematography could take me places. I started taking on paid jobs, and soon found myself being flown across the world to shoot. It's been a dream come true, and I am grateful for the opportunities that cinematography has brought my way.
 

Looking back, I am proud of how far I have come. Despite the challenges I faced, I never gave up on my passion. Cinematography has allowed me to break free from the constraints of my upbringing and see the world in a way I never thought possible.

It's a journey I'm still on, and I can't wait to see where it takes me next.
