Edan Cohen
From London to Los Angeles | Filmmaker, Editor, Creative Director
About me
I’m Edan Cohen, a Creative Director and Director of Photography with over 10 years of hands-on experience working across international media production and marketing. My career has been shaped by a deep focus on cinematic storytelling, technical precision, and disciplined execution, whether I’m leading a commercial shoot, crafting a branded film, or documenting real-world stories.
I specialize in lighting, directing, shooting, and editing, and I’m comfortable owning the full creative and technical pipeline from concept through final delivery.
My approach balances creativity with structure - ensuring every project not only looks cinematic, but also serves a clear purpose for the brand, audience, or message behind it.
Experience & Background
Over the years, I’ve produced award-winning content for global brands including Jimmy Choo, Google, and British Airways.
My work has taken me across the UK, Europe, Middle East and the United States, operating in both studio and on-location environments and adapting to a wide range of production scales.
My background spans:
- Commercial and broadcast productions
- Branded and campaign-driven content
- Documentary filmmaking
- Web and social media video
- Corporate and industrial productions
- Live event coverage
Much of this work has been delivered under tight deadlines and high-pressure conditions, often collaborating with agencies, production companies, and in-house marketing teams. I’m experienced working within agency-led environments, aligning creative vision with brand strategy, and executing at scale without sacrificing quality.
Technical Expertise
Technically, I’m fluent across the entire production workflow. I regularly operate and manage:
Cinema camera systems
Professional lighting and grip setups
Location and studio sound recording
Post-production workflows, including editing, color grading, sound mixing, and mastering
I own and operate industry-standard professional equipment, which enables me to work efficiently, stay adaptable on set, and maintain consistently high production standards regardless of project size or location.
How I Work
I’m calm under pressure, collaborative by nature, and easy to work with. I’m comfortable engaging with creative directors, agencies, presenters, clients, and production crews, and I value clear communication at every stage of a project. I take pride in being both a creative leader and a reliable team player - someone who can step in, take ownership, and elevate the final result.
Above all, I’m driven by producing purposeful media - work that informs, engages, and reflects a high standard of craft. Whether the goal is brand growth, storytelling, or education, I bring the same level of focus, professionalism, and care to every project.
