Jay Menos McIntyre is a cinematographer and filmmaker based in Yorkshire, working across narrative film and short form.

Cinematography for Jay is rooted in story, character and atmosphere. It is about finding the visual language that best serves the project and brings its world to life. With years of experience in DIT and lighting, Jay crafts images through light, composition and camera movement, shaping atmosphere and revealing character without drawing attention away from the performance.

Working closely with directors, he develops a visual approach that feels specific to each project, from the way a scene is lit to the way the camera moves through a space. His background across directing, acting, lighting and DIT allows him to approach each project from both creative and technical perspectives, while keeping the story at the centre of every decision.
