Gareth Paul Cox is a commercial television and film camera operator and cinematographer living in both New York City and Northeast Florida. He has traveled the world working on commercial and documentary projects since graduating college in 2007. He has won multiple awards and recognition for is films which have screened at many festivals around the world, including the shorts corner at Cannes. In 2010, he and his wife won a Telly Award for their short documentary for a non-profit that is using the sport of Lacrosse as an outlet for aggression in teens in developing countries.

Growing up Gareth’s parents encouraged and allowed him to try a multitude of things, always affording him any opportunity they could. Through this freedom of expression he found himself. Gareth first began his interest in images both moving and still in Junior high. From there he was like a fish to water. He loved capturing anything he could, from family vacations, to his friends skateboarding.

By high school his parents saw that this was not just a passing phase and that he had a real aptitude and gift. Thus his collection of equipment began. A trend that has anything but stopped since. Once the owner of cameras both still and video he had the tools needed to become the artist he already was inside. He had countless rolls of film developed, of photos that he would now be embarrassed to show, artists are always their worst critic. “ I wanted to master the still image before I moved on to motion picture” says Cox of his motivation.

At Flagler College Gareth studied communications. This helped him hone his skills in both film and photography. While in college Gareth participated twice in the Melbourne Independent Filmmakers Festival. Both movies he was involved in won awards. What Matters, a skateboarding documentary he directed, filmed and edited won Best Film in the surf/skate category. Through his college years he learned more about how to play with light and the different effects that can be achieved through different uses of both film and digital media.

In his first year after graduation Gareth shot three feature length documentaries, one of which he was the DP on, shot freelance and continued to assist and shoot photography. During the summer of 2008 he moved to New York city with his wife to further his career and has since continued to work as a freelance cinematographer.
