LOUIE POORE
I’m a documentary cinematographer based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I specialize in verite shooting and have a passion for people-driven, emotional films. With a deep background in marketing, I bring my documentary experience and perspective to branded content for clients in healthcare, education, and non-profit worlds, working light, fast, and always responsive (and sensitive) to critical moments and real people.
I have an MFA in documentary film from Wake Forest University and teach college film courses in North Carolina’s Piedmont-Triad. Even when I’m not shooting, I’m thinking about shooting or helping others learn the ropes.
I own and operate Canon C500 mark ii camera package with Canon zooms and cinema primes, as well as full audio, lighting, and grip kits.
