Congratulations are extended to Bahamian Chris Pinder who has just been nominated for a 2014 Emmy for Outstanding Achievement as a Director of Photography.

“It has been a long time coming and I am truly honored and grateful to be nominated for a 2014 Emmy for Outstanding Achievement as a Director of Photography,” said Pinder who lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Chris worked with the creative service department of Georgia Public Television to bring their vision to life for their “Our GPB” television campaign of which he has been nominated. He designed creative shots by incorporating the use of a dolly and hi-hat exclusively.

He was also responsible for lighting and recording audio for each talent interview. The campaign was shot over the course of a few months at various locations throughout the state of Georgia. Chris Pinder is a constant professional always looking to capture the perfect image.

"Today, you have to be a chameleon in the industry. You have to be able to adapt to new techniques, new styles, and new technology. Which means that you have to be multi-faceted. Gone are the days of just being an editor or camera operator. You have to know how to be self-sufficient. And that is what I pride myself on always" – Chris Pinder

From the tender age of 7 years old, Chris Pinder has been rubbing shoulders with major Media professionals and celebrities. From Maury Povich to Harrison Ford, Chris has met them all.

Being the stepson of Philadelphia's Emmy Award winning news reporter Trudy Haynes and going to NBC's affiliate station KYW after school, Chris would watch behind the scenes and develop a natural interest in cinematography, which grew into his passion and field of work.

Chris has been in the field for over 20 years now but decided to start his own Media Company after meeting his wife and partner working on the set of an Indie Film in The Bahamas 10 years ago. They chose the name "Bluehole Pictures" because they both share Caribbean roots and love the tranquil island waters.

"I am always trying to improve on my craft and will always be my harshest critic, ” said Pinder who has produced, directed, edited and served as director of photography on a multitude of significant broadcast and corporate video projects as well as documentaries. We have worked with Georgia Public Broadcasting, Domino's Pizza, Marco’s Pizza, Wendy’s, KFC, Bose, Buena Vista Pictures, The Weather Channel, Lennar Homes, HGTV, CBS, NBC, E!, CW, FOX, Bahamas Tourism, and numerous others.

"When it comes to my passion, I do whatever it takes to get the shot. If it means getting into a zip line five hundred feet in the mountains of Haiti, getting into a helicopter for aerials of The Bahamas, or even putting on a bullet proof vest to shoot for America Most Wanted, I do it. And I love what I do." – Chris Pinder
