Finn McGough
Finn McGough is an award-winning commercials, drama and documentary director with a background in Fine Art and an MSc in Psychology — a combination that probably explains his long-standing interest in how people behave when a camera is pointed at them.
He began his career travelling extensively as a documentary director, making Lonely Planet television guides across Kenya and Italy, Locked Up Abroad films in India and Thailand, and being blindfolded and dropped in Azerbaijan for Channel 4’s uniquely masochistic adventure series Lost.
Alongside his directing work, Finn is a photographer shooting travel, street and documentary imagery. He bulk-loads, home-develops, scans and prints his own 35mm film — partly for control, partly because he enjoys the process, and partly because he’s gone too far to stop now. His commercial photography work includes campaigns for Volkswagen.
