DILLON T. RITCHIE

I was born and raised in Vermont, where long winters and mountain landscapes shaped my earliest visual instincts. Filmmaking began as a weekend ritual, shooting ski films with friends. This quickly grew into something more intentional as I began exploring narrative storytelling. What started as experimentation became a clear direction: Cinematography. After a year of travel dedicated to discovering my voice, refining my craft and gaining practical experience, I moved to Berlin, Germany. There, I developed lasting creative partnerships with directors and began translating vision into a professional practice.
Now working as a freelance cinematographer across Europe and the United States, I approach each project with a strong sense of atmosphere, movement, and story. Drawing my inspiration from both natural environments and human connection to shape the frame.
