Life and career
Life and career
Braham’s cinematographic career began in 1989 with the British band The KLF working on their 1991 road movie, The White Room. He won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Limited Series for his work on the miniseries Shackleton. Known for implementing warm lighting, a very stylized color grading, and sometimes applying fisheye lens, Braham works mostly in big-budget films with a heavy focus on visual effects, especially in films directed by James Gunn. He has also directed several commercials. In 2013, Braham has also designed the lighting for the sellout exhibition, “Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones” for the Victoria and Albert Museum. Braham is a member of the British Society of Cinematographers and is also the co-founder of the Good Hemp Food brand with Glynis Murray.
