The Team
Don Hamilton has built himself the perfect studio: from the space, to the hardware, and especially to his small but mighty full-time crew. We invite you to discover the magic of collaborative production with the Hamilton Studio Team.
Don Hamilton

Renaissance man, noun: a person who has wide interests and is expert in several areas.
There are so many things that Don does well, it’s hard to define his strengths. But he is first and foremost a craftsman. His complete knowledge of the craft, and his artistry in the areas of photography/cinematography, is renowned. Don’s skill, imagination and attention to detail, gives each project, regardless of budget, professional polish.

Hannah Sander

Her unique story telling super-power separates Hannah’s work from the rest. Yes, she’s organized. Yes, she’s technically advanced. Those are things one can learn.
But Hannah’s gift is finding the gem; digging for the perfect spoken line or perfectly framed shot to sculpt the story and bring it to life. That is an art.
