Ben Seresin

Having grown up in New Zealand, Ben Seresin moved to the UK to pursue his dream of working in film. He made quite the mark in the commercial and television world before making his feature film debut on Mike Barker's THE JAMES GANG. While Seresin flourished in the independent film world, he was able to strengthen his action prowess as 2nd unit director of photography on such films as LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER and TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES. Seresin got his break taking over for Dariusz Wolski, ASC on first unit for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END.

Ben Seresin lensed PAIN AND GAIN, directed by Michael Bay. The crime caper starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson marks Seresin's second collaboration with Bay, having previously worked with the filmmaker on the box office hit TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN.

Other notable feature credits include Tony Scott's UNSTOPPABLE, starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine, and A GOOD WOMAN, starring Scarlett Johansson. In between feature films, Seresin uses commercials and music videos as a great testing ground for new techniques. The Puma commercial that Seresin shot, "After Hours Athlete," was awarded the Film Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
