Bio
Based in Wānaka, Otago, Joe Murdie is a DOP and camera operator with over a decade of experience in the film and television industry, working across documentary, scripted, and commercial productions throughout Aotearoa, Asia, and the U.S. Known for his composed visuals, creative lighting, and thoughtful approach to story, Joe brings a grounded, collaborative presence to every set.
His cinematography credits span major broadcasters including Al Jazeera, Bravo, TVNZ, Red Bull TV, Māori Television, and SKY TV, with work also featured on streaming platforms Amazon Prime, TVNZ+, GloboSat, and RNZ.
Working with agencies, producers, and clients worldwide, Joe is trusted for his professionalism, visual clarity, and calm presence on set.
Joe is equally comfortable in remote, high-pressure environments as he is on a controlled set — whether chasing light across a mountain range or lighting a quiet, character-driven scene.
