Eric Iyoob is a Cinematographer based in Northeastern Pennsylvania, known for his work with 16mm and 35mm film. A self-taught filmmaker, he began with a grassroots approach—learning producing, shooting, editing, and color grading from the ground up. His roots in skateboard filmmaking shaped a visual language centered on experimentation, instinct, and raw visual impact. Eric’s early professional work included music videos shot entirely on celluloid. That experience sparked a shift towards narrative storytelling and a deeper pursuit of emotionally charged imagery. He is drawn to stories rooted in realism and movement, with a visual style defined by tactile texture, high contrast, authenticity, and an emphasis on natural, lived-in environments. His work embraces imperfection, grain, and spontaneity—favoring the visceral over the pristine.
This path has led to multiple narrative short films shot on 35mm and 16mm film—”Finding Yourself”, “THRILL”, “With Such Fragile Hands”, “HUSH”—amongst many other various projects on the analog medium, where he continues to explore character-driven stories and images that feel honest, cinematic, and handmade.
Eric is focused on film-forward visual storytelling across narrative, commercial, and music-driven work.
