About Karl

Karl Egbe

While my early career involved working with BlackMagic and Panasonic camera systems the bulk of my professional experience has been centered around Sony's line of cameras. This extensive experience includes working with the F55, FS5 II, the FX3, and most significantly, the FX9, which has become my go-to camera. For the majority of my shoots, I rely on the Sony FX9 as my primary camera, complemented by a Sony FS5 mkii serving as a B-Cam. I would say that I specialize in being a jack of all trades, a shooter that you can put in anything from live events to sit down interviews for documentaries. I thrive in my capacity to adapt to many situations and deliver high-quality content across various formats. While I excel in many areas, I find that stylized interviews for documentaries or series bring out the best of my creativity. My favorite project was filming interviews for the series Uninterrupted: The Real Stories of Basketball about the history of the Seattle Supersonics and the place of basketball in the city of Seattle in general. This project was particularly special because it allowed us to dive deep into the rich basketball culture of Seattle and capture the passion of the fans and former players.
