DONGLI DENG 

His love for images started early. At just four years old, he began learning photography from his father, and not long after, he got his hands on a Sony video camera. That curiosity never left. He later studied at Vancouver Film School and continued honing his craft through professional cinematography training.

​

Over the years, he’s worked across both narrative and commercial projects, developing not just a deeper understanding of the craft, but also a lasting belief: that poetic visuals are powerful — but people are more so. For him, it’s always about the human story. The way people see, feel, and move through the world is what brings life to the lens.

​

Rather than committing to a single visual style, he stays open — always exploring, always experimenting — letting lived experience shape each frame. The result? Cinematography that feels real, reflective, and quietly beautiful.
