about

Hey! My name is Alba and I’m a cinematographer based in Dublin.

Since graduating from the National Film School of Ireland in 2017 I’ve gone on to shoot a collection of over 100 short films and music videos and have quickly risen to be one of Ireland’s most prolific emerging cinematographers.

As a queer woman, I bring a fresh perspective to projects where characters are pushed past their limits and always appreciate a challenge to capture raw emotion and empathy through my visuals. I also have an MA in Screenwriting offering a unique perspective as a cinematographer when lifting a story from page to screen.

In recent years, I’ve won Best Cinematography at the Galway Film Fleadh for my work in Faítíos (2021), and have since garnered recognition at the European Cinematography Awards for my work on Animal (2023), Stable (2023), Callus (2023) and Gillyfish (2024). My work on a variety of documentaries has been broadcasted on Sky Arts, Virgin Media, TG4 and RTE with my music video work earning substantial recognition at the EDAs over the years.

I have recently begun taking 2nd Unit DP work under Kate McCullough ISC most notably for Frank Berry's The Lost Children of Tuam and Conor McPhearson's The Weir.

Aside from my cinematography career I have focused on creating Queer Talent Ireland, a directory that aims to spotlight Irish queer talent behind the camera.

I own an Alexa Mini package alongside a selection of prime and anamorphic lenses.
