Crew & Talent Listing


Description

Born in Sydney Australia (1st August 1985), I began my career in media at an early age taking on photography as a hobby and soon moving into filming music videos and editing videos for Australian Guitar magazine in the Sydney area. In Sydney I did my BA in Electrical Engineering at Wollongong University, which I graduated in 2008

I moved to Finland, Europe in 2009 in pursuit of my career in Media. I studied at Helsinki Aalto University obtaining my BA in Film Production in 2013. Since then I have found myself on a range of productions and budget levels in over 5 continents of the world.



In 2018 I became a member of the A.C.S (Australian Cinematography Society) to which i am aiming for an ACS accreditation. I was also featured in ACS Magazine in 2019 for my extensive work on “Where is My Lamborghini?” And in 2022 for my Feature film work on the action movie “Layers of Lies". I have also been awarded “Best Cinematographer” from the Los Angeles, New York, European and Canadian Cinematography awards 2022/2023.

Most people know me as "Mark Hobz" or "Hobz" which is the name I use for my professional career.
