About
Michael Henaghan is an NYC/Vermont based Director of Photography interested in long form narrative storytelling and how his cinematography can give meaning to the stories told.
He grew up in the small town of Hockessin, Delaware where he developed his love for the camera while making skateboarding videos with his friends. He developed his skills in a high school video production class and learned he wanted to pursue cinematography as a career. While attending Fairfield University, he sharpened his skills and learned the more technical aspects of the craft.
His first career opportunity at COPA90 as a full-time shooter/editor served as an introduction into the documentary space where he shaped his style to create raw and truthful imagery reflecting the world around him. He now takes that honest and observational mentality into his narrative work where he is inspired by naturalism with hints of the surreal.
