The sound of a camera shutter on a film set tells you the Unit Photographer is close at hand. On the sets of independent films Mercy and Red 71, that click was from the camera of photographer and actress Hilary Bronwyn Gayle.

A Lake Charles native, Hilary graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia with a B.F.A in Photography in 2006 and has worked as a professional photographer in the lake area. She is pursuing a career in Motion Picture Still Photography and recently attended the Still Photographer On Set workshop with Unit Photographer Kerry Hayes at the Maine Media Workshop.
Her first stint as Unit Photographer came in 2005 on the production of Patrick Roddy’s independent horror Mercy. In addition to her role behind the camera, Hilary was cast in a small role in front of the camera as a prostitute in the hellish world of John Mercy. Her extraordinary photos were shown in 2006 as The Mercy Stills, Solo Exhibition at the Central School Arts and Humanities Center in Lake Charles.
Hilary’s second foray into filmmaking came in June of 2007 on the set of the modern noir Red 71. Another Patrick Roddy project, Red 71 was shot in Tucson, Arizona. Hilary was again called on as Unit Photographer and as an actress in the production itself.
Hilary’s still photographs capture the dark, bleak feel of both films exceptionally well. If you need a top notch Unit Photographer or would like to see more of Hilary’s work visit her website at HilaryBronwynGayle.com.
This is part one in an on-going series to highlight the talents and personalities of Lake Area Film Group members and other filmmakers in southwest Louisiana.
