Meet Dillon Parnell

I am a cinematographer based out of Charleston, SC. I create story telling visuals for brands looking to reach new levels in their content approach. But first let’s talk about how I started…

I was born in Goose Creek, SC a small town outside of Charleston (yes there’s geese if you aren’t familiar). In high school I joined a media tech class literally because there was no other options for extra curriculars left. What I thought was a mistake turned out to be the best decision I made. I found a love for working behind the camera especially when it came to making people laugh with the stories I could create. After high school I continued to gravitate towards it getting my first camera a Canon t7 which was mostly used as a hobbyist and just taking photos of my friends. One day someone paid me to create a story about their summer basketball drills in between playing in college and that’s when it changed for me.

Since then I have travelled the world and worked with some of the top talents in every industry. From NFL players to Wine Companies to Platinum Music Producers I have done a lot in a short two year span.
