Anthony, or "Brooks" (as he’s affectionately known as) was born in Baltimore, MD. His career in cinematography was sparked by an exploratory nature growing up as a military brat in countries such as Cuba, Sicily, and various cities throughout the US. This nomadic experience would shape a vast world view that made it inevitable that he became a visual storyteller of some sort.In 2010, he journeyed into Los Angeles, beginning with freelance gigs in post-production, VFX—and anything to stay close to the camera. Eventually, he became a camera operator and transitioned into a professional cinematographer and member of the International Cinematographer's Guild. Anthony has spent the past 15 years traveling, shooting scripted narratives and documentaries that took me to the forgotten corners of the world. I’ve been in the deserts of California, the rural Southern US, the streets of Istanbul, the maze of Old City Jerusalem, and even the heart of Israel and Palestine. He's spent time just about every type of neighborhood, in every condition, with every type of crew. With a global perspective, travel is what hardens his approach to creating images. Anthony has lensed and led teams on feature films, commercials, docuseries—for Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Sony, eBay, Microsoft, Nike, and Jordan Brand —most notably Amazon Studios’ Top Class: The Life and Times of the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers. The docuseries offers a behind-the-scenes look at the biggest attraction in high school basketball. Featuring the sons of NBA legends, the series chronicles the trials of one of the most talked about programs in prep sports and garnered a nomination 2022 Critic’s Choice for Best Sports Series. As Anthony looks to the future—he’s actively engaging with AI technology to shape the next chapter of his work. Currently enrolled in the UC Berkeley HaaS AI For Business program he is dedicating time to collaborating with tech startups in AI-driven projects. If he weren’t an advocate for AI’s potential in the arts and an array of industries—Anthony might been a historian or an analyst.http://www.anthonybrooksdp.com
