Steven Priovolos is a London-based cinematographer working across commercials and branded content, feature films, documentaries, and television. Whatever the form, he begins with two questions: what is the story really about, and how can it be made with care for everyone involved? Story first, people always! 

​

Born in Athens, educated in London and shaped by fifteen years in Los Angeles, Steven has built a life and career across cultures. He studied theoretical physics at Imperial College before training in cinematography at the London Film School - a combination that continues to inform both the precision and feeling of his images.

​

Across more than 25 years, his work has taken him to 80 countries and hundreds of productions for Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, Warner Bros., Village Roadshow, National Geographic and Discovery+, alongside brands including Gucci, Hugo Boss, Savage X Fenty, Swarovski, Virgin Galactic, Adidas Y-3 and Red Bull.

​

He has been trusted to light Academy Award winners Gwyneth Paltrow and Jared Leto, and to film remarkable people including Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Roger Federer, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Sharon Stone and Gerard Butler.

​

Steven is less interested in imposing a look than in discovering the visual language a story is asking for. He approaches each production with preparation, calm and curiosity, knowing when to make a clear decision and when to leave room for the unexpected. He believes the strongest work grows through trust - when producers, directors, cast and crew each bring something of themselves to the process.

​

Alongside cinematography, Steven takes on Executive Producer roles for selected projects with genuine creative or social purpose and, when time allows, guest lectures in cinematography around the world.

​

He returned to London in 2026 and continues to work internationally. A US and EU citizen, he is drawn to stories with purpose and people who care deeply about how they are told.

Off set, Steven is usually cycling, hiking, reading, cooking, practising yoga or meditating - though a powerful documentary idea is rarely polite enough to leave him alone for long…
