biography
During the 1980s and 1990s Angus worked his way up through the ranks of the camera department as an assistant cameraman travelling the world working on music videos, commercials and feature films, assisting notable Directors of Photography such as Oscar nominated Roger Deakins (Shawshank Redemption, Fargo, No Country for Old Men ) and Oscar nominated John Mathieson (Love is the Devil, Gladiator, Matchstick Men, Kingdom of Heaven).
Since the late 1990’s he has worked as a Director of Photography on commercials and feature films. Angus has continued his relationship with John Mathieson, as his 2nd Unit Director of Photography on Plunkett & Macleane (1999 - dir: Jake Scott), Trauma (2004 - dir: Mark Evans) and Stoned (2005 - dir: Stephen Woolley).
Angus’s first feature film as Director of Photography was Hari Om (2004 - dir: Bharatbala Ganapathy) starring Vijay Raaz and Camille Natta. Hari Om is a love story, road trip and journey of discovery set in a auto rickshaw driving across Rajasthan, India. Hari Om premiered at the 2004 Toronto Film Festival and went on to win numerous awards at film festivals around the world.
2005 saw Angus joining up with director Sean Ellis to shoot Cashback (2006) starring Sean Biggerstaff and Emilia Fox which involved turning Sean Ellis’s Oscar nominated short film of the same name into a feature length film. Cashback is an impressive and visually rich black comedy that delves into beauty, art, love, memories, dreams, ladishness and freezing time. Cashback premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival and won awards at the Bermuda and San Sebastian International Film Festivals. Cashback has received a worldwide release and opened in the UK in May 2008.
The Broken (2008) starring Lena Headey and Richard Jenkins marks Angus’s most recent feature collaboration with director Sean Ellis. The film is a visually stunning and sophisticated psychological chiller set in London that witnesses the character’s sense of reality and identity shatter into pieces. The Broken was of part the official selection at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival where it had its world premiere with impressive reviews in Variety and Screen International singling out Angus’s cinematography for its qualities. Angus recently won the award for Best Cinematography at the prestigious Sitges International Film Festival for his work on The Broken. The Broken was released in the US and UK in January 2009.
Angus’s last project with Sean Ellis was the French language short film Voyage D’Affaires (2008) starring Guillaume Canet and Melanie Laurent. Voyage D’Affaires is the story of a businessman who, on checking into a hotel, finds his girlfriend has just dumped him via an answerphone message but then discovers a tempting proposition in the form of a “business card” under the bed. Voyage D’Affaires was nominated for a BAFTA in 2009 for Best Short Film and won Best Film in the Fujifilm short film competition in 2010.
In between films Angus has a successful career shooting commercials for clients all over the world working mostly in the areas of travel and beauty. And in between commercials Angus likes to cook.
Angus lives in London with his family and holds both UK and US passports.
