Nic McLean is a commercial cinematographer and director specializing in sports, lifestyle, tech and underwater.
Growing up the son of a world-traveling architectural designer, art and culture were part of everyday life. So at age twelve, when he first handled a camera, it naturally became his portal to the world. After film school, Nic developed his aesthetic instincts shooting action sports films & humanitarian documentaries leading him to film in over fifty countries.
This global exposure to colorful cultures capturing authentic stories fostered his ability to quickly befriend subjects making them comfortable in front of the lens. Now, working in the commercial world alongside high profile athletes, musicians & actors, Nic’s genuine connection to their stories & his instincts as a cinematographer help brands create lasting impressions in their search to humanize their messaging. Some clients include Wilson, Under Armour, Intel, Gatorade, Disney & Nat Geo.
Nic carries a collaborative spirit into his relationships with directors and agencies to capture their vision and simply adds his fingerprint to elevate the project. Along with owning his own camera packages, Nic has a wide connection of production crews nationally. When not traveling for work, Nic loves to spend time surfing, fishing, boating with his wife and playing sports with their 9 year old son.
