About Me

Blaine Dunkley is a freelance film and video Director of Photography based in New York City. He is a graduate of The University of Montana in Missoula, where he studied Physics, Economics, and finally Media Arts - Digital Filmmaking. In 2007 Blaine co-founded KBD Film & Photography along with Kenneth Billington and got to work photographing weddings, commercials, fashion lines, models, actors, musicians, and narrative film sets. His style is raw and intuitive, based on the creative spontaneity that he learned from his time as a photojournalist at the Montana Kaimin Newspaper.

After moving to Los Angeles in 2012, Blaine set out to build his network of creatives and co-founded and operated tonofbricksLA with his Montana filmmaking colleagues out of a downtown studio. Over two short years, the studio and collective went from mattresses on a concrete floor to a full fledged boutique production studio in the bustling heart of Los Angeles' Arts District. It was epic, yo. Although Blaine remains in cahoots with the denizens of tonofbricks and their west coast cohorts, in 2014 his heart called him east to the epicenter of indie filmmaking: New York City.

His Director of Photography credits include over 15 narrative shorts, three features, and countless commercials, music videos, web series' and plugs. Blaine has lensed projects for many major companies including Enterprise, Fed-Ex, and Discovery networks. His Cinematography was most notably featured in Juicy Couture founders Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash Taylor's newest film "California Eccentrics" for their high end california fashion line Skaist-Taylor", also, "Romantic Encounters with Melinda Hill" a raucous internet TV comedy starring many of Hollywood's elite comedy acts and Comediva's 5mil. viewers+ viral music video parody "Klingon Style".
