Back To The Beginning
By Kerri Sage
Kerri Sage is a cinematographer based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She began her career at the age of 26 after serving four years in the US Navy, where she draws inspiration from her experiences in active duty. She tells narrative stories through close up shots of emotion and her use of colored lighting.
I’ve been behind the camera since the age of ten, when my mother finally trusted me with her Canon T2i. It started with photography – taking self portraits, pictures of plants on nature walks, and many, many photos of our childhood cats. I had dozens of folders on the family computer of pictures of my friends and I goofing off, poorly made edits on PicMonkey, and one attempt at photoshopping a tattoo on my shoulder [it didn’t turn out well].
I’ve always wanted to work behind the camera, and in my own roundabout way, I’ve ended up back behind them. My interest in photography led me into the cinematography realm, along with my growing interest in the art of lighting. This past spring semester, I’ve ignited my passion for portrait photography again, and cannot wait to light that same spark for cinematography with JTWO Productions.
