irby started in production around 2007. Before that he toured in a post hardcore band, wrote and had several terrible jobs. After starting in production, he spent a decade in the grip and lighting departments working his way up to key grip on commercials and features, learning from a vast array of incredible technicians and DPs.

He started lensing and lighting as a Director of Photography in 2017. He loves telling stories and creating drama and tension within the frame through lighting and camera movement. He has traveled the world telling stories, whether documentaries, commercials, specs, shorts or features. (He recently finished his first feature, POSSUM TROT – in theatres July 4,2024)

In his spare time, he enjoys putting his phone down, being with his partner and their children, tinkering with analog electronics, seeing the world and trying to exist.
