DIRECTORS & D.O.P.s Mar 2017

Working as a VFX artist during a summer job when he was in his teens, Omid Zarei started making films and fiddling with visuals early on. He went on to follow his passion, working in Paris as a director and cinematographer while finishing film school.

A natural storyteller, Omid has created imagery for a diverse range of projects, always approaching his work with a great curiosity while challenging himself to artistically express ideas and concepts through his imagery.

Visual communication is his mantra. Constantly reinventing himself, Omid is also experienced with virtual reality, creating one of the first workshops in Europe on VR films. As a DoP, Omid considers his mission to be touching the audience with subtle, yet well crafted details in every frame he creates.
