Known for CameraBristol, Gloucestershire, England
Tasha Back is a DOP and Cinematographer. Back grew up in Gloucestershire and, after gaining a BA in media arts at Royal Holloway, University of London, started in marketing at the BFI before working her way up in various camera departments, tackling everything from production running to clapper loading. “I really did start at the bottom,” she says.
A string of assistant camera credits, including World War Z and Hunger, led to second-unit work on The Marvels and Apple TV+ miniseries Masters Of The Air. She also made her presence felt in the art world, shooting the 2020 Turner Prize-winning ‘The Destructors’ for Imran Perretta.

Her television work includes Alibi’s Traces and Channel 4 single drama Adulting. “TV is really exciting now because there are some boundary-pushing series out there,” says Back. “Anything where you can create the look is interesting to me.” In addition to her fiction work, Back has also been shooting a documentary for Fremantle Documentaries’ production label Undeniable based on Ruth Wilson’s performance of The Second Woman at London’s Young Vic. She is also attached to a social drama feature with a planned shoot in Scotland this autumn.
