Luc G. Nicknair
Director of Photography

Luc G. Nicknair is a Cinematographer who grew up in the foliaged land of New England. It’s part of the world where autumn colors and the contrasting bleak winters of Black and White are ingrained into his consciousness. This background created an exciting palette to choose from.

"Close Call" was Luc’s first feature as a DP. Since then he has shot a romantic comedy called "Keeping It Real" and is in pre-production for a film noir feature in the jungles of Costa Rica called "Tropix."

Before that Luc’s training was in visual effects and camera on such movies as Daylight, Executive Decision, Batman Forever, Black Scorpion, Addams Family, The Nutty Professor, LA Story, The Babe, Demolition Man, Tap, The Rapture, a couple of Nightmare on Elm Streets & The Wonder Years. These are just a few highlights that spanned his career.

As a Videographer he has shot for CBS NEWS, the American and Latin GRAMMY’s, a jazz theatrical performance called "Dreamscapes" for Steve Reid and the Bamboo Forest, and promotional material for Salon Selectives. His talents also merged into the world of fashion and hair still photography for Michael Starr Shirts, XOXO & Linear Hairstyles.
