Welcome to the official website of Mark O'Rourke, an accomplished Director of Photography from Dublin, Ireland. With over a decade of experience behind the camera, I have honed my craft across the globe, capturing the essence of stories through a lens that brings visions to life.

My Journey

Born and raised in Dublin, my passion for visual storytelling began at a young age. Inspired by the rich culture and scenic beauty of Ireland, I pursued a career in cinematography, dedicating myself to mastering the art and science of photography. Over the years, my journey has taken me from the vibrant streets of European cities to the remote landscapes of the Arctic Circle, each location adding a unique texture to my work.

Professional Experience

My professional repertoire spans a diverse range of projects, including:

• Commercials: Collaborating with top brands and agencies, I've crafted visually compelling advertisements that captivate and engage audiences. My work in commercials emphasises not just the product, but the story and emotion behind it.

• Documentaries: I have a deep appreciation for the authenticity and power of documentary filmmaking. My projects have taken me into the heart of communities, uncovering untold stories and capturing real-life events with sensitivity and integrity.

• Narrative Films: Bringing fictional stories to life is a passion of mine. My experience in narrative film work includes working on independent films and major productions, where I strive to enhance the director’s vision through meticulous attention to detail and innovative visual techniques.

Collaborations

I have had the privilege of working with a variety of talented directors, producers, and creatives. Each collaboration has enriched my perspective and pushed the boundaries of what is visually possible. My goal is to continue building relationships with passionate storytellers and creating work that resonates deeply with audiences.
