Documentary Filmmaker and Cinematographer – Peter Gunnebro

Authentic storytelling with a cinematic eye

I am a freelance documentary filmmaker and cinematographer based in Sweden, working globally. My focus is on creating visual stories that leave a lasting impression. By combining technical precision with a deep artistic understanding, I capture the genuine moments that make a story come alive.

Experience behind the lens

Thanks to my background from Stockholm Film School and Molkom Film – Creating & Producing, I have developed a workflow where technical expertise and creative storytelling go hand in hand. My work has taken me to places like Greenland, the USA, and the UK, giving me the adaptability required for demanding "run-and-gun" scenarios as well as controlled studio environments.

My strength lies in balancing advanced camera work with an intuitive feel for light and sound—specifically optimized for documentary contexts.

Services as a Documentary Filmmaker and Cinematographer

Beyond my role as a cinematographer, I offer solutions for everything from short reports to feature-length documentaries.

• Documentary Specialist: I often work as a "fly-on-the-wall" to capture the unscripted without disturbing the scene.
• Local Crew & Fixer: I am available as a local DP and collaborator for international production companies filming in Sweden.
• Flexible Collaborations: I am equally comfortable working as part of a larger crew or independently, adapting to different directors' visions.
• Cinematic Interviews: I specialize in lighting and framing interviews so they feel both natural and visually engaging.

Film Technology and Innovation

To create that fluid, cinematic feel, I frequently use Steadicam (I am a certified operator) or EasyRig. This adds emotional weight and stability to the images without losing documentary realism. Furthermore, I stay at the forefront of the industry with experience in virtual production and LED walls, offering exciting possibilities even for smaller productions.

My equipment as a documentary filmmaker and cinematographer

I own and operate professional gear suitable for broadcast and cinema standards. This includes:

• Cameras: Sony FX6 (Netflix-approved), Canon R6 & R6 Mark II.
• Lenses: Cinema-grade optics from Sony, Canon RF, and Samyang.

This professional gear and virtual production experience support my creative work across all projects, ensuring every story is captured beautifully and flexibly on location.
