Geoffrey Hall (cinematographer)

[1] Hall studied art and design at Prahran College in Melbourne, where he was inspired by his photographic lecturer Athol Shmith as well as filmmaker Paul Cox.

[1] Among others, he shot award-winning commercials for Honda, Glass Mountain Spritzer, Mitsubishi, and Powerade, and music videos for The Darkness, Kate Ceberano, The Screaming Jets, Peter Andre, and Hunters and Collectors.

[2] For the ABC/Netflix spy-thriller series Pine Gap (2018), Hall worked closely with director, Mat King, and production designer Scott Bird, to create the look and feel of the secretive joint Australian-US military facility known as Pine Gap, in the Northern Territory.

Hall also requested Maxx Corkindale as his B-camera operator, as they work well together, and there were challenges of shooting in the location near Alice Springs.

Speaking about the shoot, in which a sniper was positioned somewhere in Melbourne city centre, Hall said "With lots of night and low light scenes I chose to shoot full-frame to make the most of the Cooke T2 S7/i lenses enabling him to capture a true, big cinematic look with Bokeh influence".
