Darian Woods

Cinematographer / Gimbal Operator

Welcome to my website! My name is Darian Woods, and I am a photographer and videographer based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. My passion for capturing the beauty of the outdoors and adventure is what drives me to create stunning visuals that tell a story.

As an avid adventurer, I am constantly seeking new challenges and experiences to inspire my work. I love exploring the great outdoors and immersing myself in nature, whether it's hiking in the mountains, snowboarding the slopes, or simply taking a walk on the beach. Through my lens, I aim to capture the raw beauty of these environments and share it with the world.

My journey as a photographer and videographer began when I picked up a camera and started experimenting with different techniques and styles. Over time, I honed my skills and developed my own unique vision, which is reflected in my work today. I specialise in water, land and aerial filming, having worked on everything from branding and corporate to aerials in feature films.

I believe that photography and videography are powerful tools for storytelling, and my goal is to use them to inspire others to explore the world around them and embrace life’s adventure.

Thank you for visiting my website, and I look forward to sharing my passion with you!
