Tyler McPherron is a San Francisco Bay Area based Director of Photography/Cinematographer who thinks that writing about yourself in third person is a pretty silly thing to do.
When I started my career as a DP, I mainly filmed documentary style shorts and live-performance music videos. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to translate my non-fiction filmmaking experience to the commercial world, where I have been refining my repertoire of skills, professional knowledge and my network of collaborators.
Over the years I’ve been fortunate to shoot and collaborate with some of my favorite musicians, including Future Islands, FKA Twigs, Moses Sumney, Sylvan Esso and Toro y Moi.
I’ve also been honored to work with clients including Google, Pixar, Target, Facebook, Molekule, Microsoft, Kraft, Intel, Levi’s, Method, Uber, Nest, Casper, One Medical, PBS, ESPN, Fox Sports, Complex, Nowness, Pandora and YouTube.
2024 will see the release of two documentary series I filmed for Apple TV+ and Netflix.
You should also know that even though I have a propensity to dress like a dad and make dad jokes, I am not a real dad, just a dog dad.
