About ME
WHO AM I?
I'm Joe Mitchell, and I didn't start with a camera. I started with a pencil, then a 3D viewport, then a design tool. Years in art and 3D design taught me how to actually see: composition, colour, light, the small choices that make something feel intentional instead of accidental. Picking up a camera felt like the natural next step, just with movement and story added in.
I'm based in Cornwall, where I've lived my whole life, but I've spent roughly a year of it away, across four separate trips, chasing places and stories worth telling. That mix has shaped how I shoot: someone who loves the craft itself, especially colour grading, but who's just as happy improvising on the back of a motorcycle in Indonesia as I am refining a grade for hours back home.
Skills and Expertise
WHAT CAN I DO?
Cinematic Storytelling
I shoot with intention. Every frame's built around composition, light, and movement, whether that's a locked-off shot waiting for the right moment or handheld footage grabbed on the move. The goal is always the same: capture something that feels alive, not staged.
Editing & Post-Production
This is where the story actually comes together, and where colour grading gets to shine. I take raw footage and shape it into something with rhythm and pace, then grade every frame to give it a mood and a look that's distinct.
Creative Direction
Before a single shot's filmed, I'm already thinking about the bigger picture: concept, tone, how a piece should feel from start to finish. That background in art and design means I'm not just executing a brief, I'm shaping the idea behind it too.
