Roger Eaton started his career as an international fashion and fine art photographer. Having trained under the guidance of legendary photographers, Lord Snowdon and Eve Arnold, Roger moved to New York in the early eighties when the city was at the height of its creative revolution. He worked closely with Andy Warhol for Interview Magazine while being creatively involved with artists such as Julian Schnabel, Francesco Clemente and Jean-Michel Basquiat. As Roger entered the 'world of fashion' he shot covers for Vogue and The Face while working on advertising campaigns such as De Beers, Bounty, Renault, Smirnoff Black Label, Clairol and Ray Ban. He photographed some of the world's most famous faces that include Diana, Princess of Wales, Andy Warhol, Naomi Cambell, Truman Capote, Bridget Fonda, Claudia Schiffer, Nancy Reagan, Andie MacDowell, Linda Evangelista, The Pope and Kate Moss while his work as an art photographer has been exhibited in solo shows in Milan, New York and London. Whilst at the top of his career as a photographer, Roger returned to London where he decided to trade stills photography for moving image. Roger has shot in every medium and format for features, television, shorts, commercials and documentaries. Work has taken him to nearly every corner of the world (Brazil, India, Africa, America and Europe) while shooting on skis, 100ft. cranes, underwater and snowstorms. In New York and Hawaii he shot The Killing of John Lennon which premiered worldwide at the Edinburgh Film Festival and was nominated for the Michael Powell Award. In India he shot Truck of Dreams which won the World Cinema Award at the Washington DC Film Festival. In Kenya he shot The Real Eve, a dramatic recreation documentary about the migration of the human race from the Rift Valley 140,000 years ago, for Discovery Channel that came 4th in the highest cable ratings in 2002.
