Phillip Sumner

I am a filmmaker, photographer, video producer, and writer.  I am also a geek. 

At the age of 7, I received my first camera as a gift.  It was a Polaroid Instant camera.  I immediately fell in love with making images. I moved on over the years to 35 mm film cameras, and then medium format film cameras.  Those days taught me so much about composition, lighting, and exposure.

I got my first digital camera in 1998, the very early years of the Digital Revolution.  I love shooting digitally.  Most of my Glamour and Portfolio work is digital.  However, I do still love film, and shoot it all the time for my personal art portfolio.

I have been the DP on an independent feature film called “Sarah Belham” directed by Jason Redmond.  I have also written and directed my own short films.  And I have been a producer and editor of television programs and commercials.

I am married to a wonderful woman who is very supportive of my love of the photographic arts.  We live in Tulsa with our energetic Labrador Retrievers, Lucy and Kelso.
