Guy Mossman is an American cinematographer whose work bridges intimate character study with bold, cinematic visuals. He made his first short film while serving in the Peace Corps in Paraguay in 2000, an experience that convinced him that documentary could fuse his passions for art, storytelling, and social issues. He went on to earn a prestigious Park Fellowship at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, completing an M.A. in Journalism and Documentary Filmmaking.
Since then, Mossman has become known for his dramatic, natural-light photography on award-winning documentaries including the Oscar-shortlisted Sundance Audience Award winner Buck, the Sundance Special Jury Prize-winning Feels Good Man, and Bending the Arc. Critics have singled out his work as "both beautiful and evocative," noting how he gives "every element its due; the clamor, the quiet... the richness of the landscape."
In 2022, he made his directorial debut co-directing and lensing The Human Trial, an ambitious, years-long chronicle of a radical Type 1 diabetes clinical trial. Most recently, he co-directed, produced, and photographed SPEAK., a feature documentary that premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, following teenage competitive orators at the National Speech & Debate Association's championship as they discover the power of their voices through oratory and storytelling.
Through his company Vox Pop Films, which he runs with his wife and creative partner, filmmaker Lisa Hepner, Mossman has also shot and produced work for HBO, Netflix, Hulu, CNN, PBS, CBC, BBC, Amazon, and more, in addition to series like Land of the Giants: Titans of Tech and Chasing the Cure.
He is a member of ICG IATSE Local 600.
