Laura Bellingham's cinematography first attracted widespread international attention when Romola Garai's directorial debut Amulet premiered in the prestigious Midnight section at the Sundance Film Festival. Starring Carla Juri (Blade Runner 2049), Alec Secăreanu (God's Own Country) and Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake), the film was praised for its striking visual style, with critics describing Laura's cinematography as "uniquely atmospheric" and "hauntingly beautiful."
Before Amulet, Laura's award-winning work had already taken her around the world—from the Kansas prairies to the uninhabitable Chernobyl Exclusion Zone—and screened at leading international festivals including Berlin, BFI London, SXSW and Los Angeles. Her first feature, Double Date, received a UK nationwide release in 2017.
She went on to photograph Zero, a dystopian chase thriller for BFI and BBC Film, followed by The Power, a supernatural thriller backed by BFI and Creative England, directed by BAFTA-nominated Corinna Faith. Set during the 1973 power cuts, the film stars Rose Williams as a young nurse forced to confront terrifying events while working the night shift.
In high-end television, Laura has served as cinematographer on The Flatshare for Paramount+, The Buccaneers for Apple TV+, and the BBC adaptation of Towards Zero. Her work on Towards Zero earned her a nomination for Best Cinematography at the 2026 British Society of Cinematographers Awards.
Alongside long-form drama, Laura continues to shoot commercials and short-form projects, including Extinction, starring Emma Thompson. Her latest feature, Magpie, is a neo-noir produced by and starring Daisy Ridley.
Laura is currently preparing Unspeakable, her second collaboration with director Corinna Faith, for The Bureau Films.
In 2026, Laura was invited to join the British Society of Cinematographers (BSC)
