Chris Varner Camera: Camera Operator, Director of Photography, Videographer

                                ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm an experienced Director of Photography, Camera Operator, and Videographer based in the vibrant coastal city of Wilmington, North Carolina! As a seasoned owner/operator of both Sony FX9 & FX3, along with a robust Grip & Electric package, I'm ready to bring your vision to life!

With a wealth of experience as Director of Photography on Electronic Press Kits and Behind-The-Scenes content for feature films and television shows, I've had the opportunity to work on two Oscar-winning projects: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

My journey on film sets has also lead to credits as a Camera Operator on exciting productions like The Waterfront, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Zoey 102, and George & Tammy.

I absolutely love diving into corporate media projects, collaborating with amazing national and international companies such as Bloomberg News, Wells Fargo, The Economist, Conde-Nast, Johnson & Johnson, Apple TV, and so many more! From music videos and concerts, to independent films, reality television, social media content, surgeries, and car commercials, I thrive on capturing it all!

Wilmington's prime location on the mid-Atlantic coast puts me within a day's drive of many production hubs in the Southeast. As a native of the Annapolis/Washington, D.C. area, I have my own accommodations there and can easily work as a local.

Let's create something amazing together!
