about me
I am DoP with international experience on television series, short and feature films, documentaries, and more. I have learned and practiced my profession in New York since the early 1990s, but moved to the Netherlands in 2015 to live with my Dutch wife. In addition to TV series for Netflix, Amazon Prime, NatGeo and the History Channel, I am also well versed in both large and small film productions, sometimes even as a 3-person crew on documentaries or shorts. If you are looking for a creative soulmate for your project, don't hesitate to contact me. My credentials can be seen on my website https://www.miltonkam.com and on IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0436346/).

ask me for
Films die vragen stellen, vooroordelen beproeven, gevoelens losmaken, die mij en de kijkers tot inzichten brengen, verdrietig of gelukkig maken, die het duistere én het schone van de menselijke conditie durven aan te kijken én te vieren. Kortom films die mij, m’n medewerkers, en de kijkers weten te betrekken in een dynamische conversatie.

remarks
Narrative storytelling: although I have been in this profession for many years, I approach every new project with enthusiasm and curiosity, where listening is just as important as offering ideas. Atmosphere and Mood: Lighting is extremely influential in creating a mood in every scene of a movie. But is it the right one? And is it consistent throughout the film? These questions are very important to me, because I feel that by successfully achieving this, the viewers are much more likely to believe what they see.

trackrecord
The Indian feature film VANAJA remains a milestone for me because of the beautiful story and its visualization that I am still proud of. The films I've made with British director Simon Rumley are a memorable variety of themes, technical and artistic challenges, and penetrating studies of characters on the edge of sanity. My interest in history finds fertile ground in director Richard Lopez's docu-drama series, in which we have filmed recreations of a Roman emperor, the founder of Playboy, and a charismatic murderer, among others.
