His work in cinematography and lighting for film and television has taken him to exotic locations in North America, Africa, and Asia. Mr. Kavanaugh has worked on set with several of cinema's established greats as well as a few of its up-and-coming darlings: Robert Frank, Ramin Bahrani, Lisa Rinzler, Michael Cuesta, Peter Sollett, Alex Gibney (Mea Culpa Maxima), Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene), and Bhen Zeitlin (Beasts of the Southern Wild). In his free time, Mr. Kavanaugh illustrates comic books and enjoys editing and shooting for the Syndicate. He prefers New York-style pizza over Chicago-style deep dish and hopes to one day build a geodesic dome in the Catskills. He's now working on a graphic novel about Alexander the Great.
