Ino Yang Popper

Ino Yang Popper is a Director of Photography based in Los Angeles. Her cinematography approach is committed to portraying the inner lives of the characters. She's drawn to characters that suffer from lingering in their past experiences, struggling to find their true identities and the meaning of life. Through photographing these characters, her work tends to have a fair dose of desolation, disassociation, and self-recognition. Ino is a Cinematography Fellow in the class of 2020 at the American Film Institute. She holds a BA in Directing & Editing from Beijing Film Academy and an MFA in Directing & Screenwriting from the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing, where her feature screenplay "A SUMMER WITH TAYLOR" won the "Outstanding Screenplay'' award in a national writing competition. She mainly served as an editor for 12 years in China. After moving to Los Angeles, Ino transitioned into a cinematographer. She integrates all her past experience in directing, editing and screenwriting into advancing cinematography craft with a unique voice in visual storytelling.
