Swaen Lievestro is a multiple award-winning cinematographer, and also works as a photographer and camera operator.
She got into photography at a young age, and started taking photos on black and white 35mm film in her teens, which she developed and printed herself in a bathroom turned into a home-made darkroom. Having admired films as a spectator for a long time, she then decided to transition from stills into moving images herself.
in 2021 Swaen graduated from the London Film Academy with a 1st degree (Hons), and previously studied film theory at the University of Amsterdam. Both studies fuelled her interest in filmmaking. Since graduating she has worked on award-winning short films, music videos, and commercials.
