Director Biography - Emmanuel Adebowale

Emmanuel Adebowale is a photographer, videographer and producer from East London. Growing up, he developed an interest for video and film production in the early years of secondary school at Sir John Cass. Spending endless hours trying different programs to create a range of videos and graphics. This became more of a passion for him as he was given a DSLR camera months later, where he would take almost everywhere possible, taking a range of photos and videos which helped him understand the technology and methodology behind what he did and why.

Now, Emmanuel is continuing his journey producing and creating, as well as doing photography, as he graduated University of East London. He has also established a freelance photography and videography portfolio outside his study and working with companies such as Samon Films, Sony Music, UEL, VNTGRD, Red Bull Games and more.
