Today’s guest is Michael Henaghan. Mike is a Director of Photography who has worked in every aspect of visual story telling from music videos with Joyner Lucas and Jelly Roll (earning a nomination for an MTV Video Music Award). His work runs the gamut of narrative films, commercials, and music videos but with the consistent thread of keeping a keen eye on creating engaging visuals and best serving the story being the commonality in the broader scope. He has an uncanny ability to tailor his process to align with the vision of each project, ensuring that every frame serves the story and that his work brings the director’s vision to life. A skill, an ability to be a chameleon of sorts, that is beyond critical and endlessly valuable in the current state of the industry.
We chat about Mike’s work from commercial branding (including Nike and Adidas) to shorts to music videos, being a transplant to Vermont and dig deep into his upcoming feature, If I Could Ride Again and how they got it made here in Vermont.
