Iris Ng
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Iris Ng is a Canadian cinematographer, most noted for her work on documentary films.[1]
She worked on short films in her early career before working with Min Sook Lee on My Toxic Baby as her first full-length project.[2] She then became more widely known for her work on Sarah Polley's acclaimed film Stories We Tell, which established her reputation as a cinematographer whose work combined the ability to "blend into a situation but also remain present as a human who can be supportive".[3]
In 2024, she was announced as the subject of a special program highlighting her work at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[4]
