BIOGRAPHY
CHARL FRASER [SASC]
I am a Johannesburg based director of photography with over 20 years experience behind the lens.
With strong roots in documentary film making, I have shaped a path to work in all genres from commercials to narrative to content driven story telling.
I am equally passionate about "run and get the shot" shooting style to crafting a scene & shaping light that's subtle or stark.
