Don Starnes is an award winning DP (and occasional Writer / Director) with decades of professional experience shooting in amazing places with fascinating people. He has photographed a dozen features, many shorts, documentaries, commercials, streaming shows, TV, music videos and web series. His work has been featured on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Discovery, Comedy Central, HBO Max, Nerdist, and many theatrical and festival screens. He works quickly, creatively, cooperatively and happily.

All of this filmmaking has provided Don a deep emotional insight into how images move people. He believes that movies can reveal our common humanity and sometimes ennoble us. This belief has subtle influence on every frame that he shoots.

During his rare (and cherished) spare time, Don enjoys travel, cooking, camping, hiking, martial arts, sociology, history, philosophy and studying the essential beauty of life with family and close friends.
