Additional cinematography for an Amazon Prime documentary
James Melrose worked as an additional Director of Photography on selected sections of Lioness: The Nicola Adams Story, a Salon Pictures production for Amazon Prime, directed by Helena Coan. His contribution formed part of the wider camera team; James did not shoot the complete feature documentary.
Captured in 4K on Blackmagic Cinema cameras and presented in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, the work required a considered, collaborative approach that supported the production’s established visual language. Contributing to a feature documentary in this way calls for adaptable camera work, close coordination with the director and production team, and a consistent approach to images across the film.
This credit sits alongside James’s wider documentary and broadcast work as a UK Director of Photography. Explore the Showreels hub, view the full portfolio, or find out more about his Director of Photography services.
