Austin Raishbrook isn\u2019t just a camera man. The passion with which he talks about his adrenaline-junkie lifestyle makes him seem less like a real person and more like a character from a \u201990s Kathryn Bigelow movie. But he\u2019s very real and very, very fascinating; the kind of person who has stories for days.\u201d<\/p><p>Austin is currently represented by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apa-agency.com\/\">APA Talent Agency<\/a>\u00a0in Beverly Hills, CA.<\/p><p><strong>BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/p><p>Growing up in a small rural town in southern England, Austin Raishbrook was fascinated by photography.\u00a0 Upon leaving school he explored the world of photojournalism and began freelancing for local newspapers.\u00a0 But these jobs left him unfulfilled and, in search of more inspiring work, he exchanged the tranquility of his hometown for the streets of Los Angeles.<\/p><p>During his first few years in the US he found work on national newspapers and magazines, covering assignments for US Weekly, the New York Post and People Magazine, among others.\u00a0 First published in 1995, Austin\u2019s work has now been seen in publications around the world, including the LA Times, Maxim Magazine and The Independent Newspaper, a leading UK broadsheet.<\/p><p>Realizing an increasing trend towards video and multimedia in the journalism industry, Austin trained in film and video at the Hollywood Film Institute gaining hands-on experience as a cinematographer.\u00a0 His creative talents led him across the world where he worked on documentaries and commercials including the highly acclaimed feature documentary, \u2018The Junkman\u2019s Son\u2019. On returning to Los Angeles, his passion for film transposed to news photography and later that year he co-founded RMG News with his brothers, Howard &amp; Marc.<\/p><p>RMG News is now one of the most successful news gathering agencies in the US, capturing some of the most breathtaking news footage ever to be seen on television.\u00a0 The company provides footage to dozens of news channels around the world, including CNN, Fox News and Univision \u2013 the leading Spanish-language media organization in the US.\u00a0 RMG News also works extensively with local fire and law enforcement agencies providing media services, footage and still images for training, promotion, event coverage and evidential purposes.<\/p><p>In 2008 the LA Times recognized RMG News as a \u201cwell-oiled news-gathering force\u201d and the success of the company also caught the attention of Tru TV executives.\u00a0 Stringers: LA, a reality TV series that first aired on the cable channel in 2008, offered viewers a behind-the-scenes look at RMG\u2019s cutting edge work.\u00a0 Executives at Tru TV say: \u201cRMG News is one of the most successful news photography companies in LA.\u201d<\/p><p>In 2011 Austin co-produced \u201cXRC\u201d (Xtreme Reality Clips), a reality show created from RMG\u2019s vast library of extreme news footage. \u00a0\u201cXRC\u201d was instantly recognized by top programmers from around the globe and was acquired by the leading broadcasters and networks in Asia (Discovery Channel), Africa (Sony\u2019s Channels, Sony MAX and SET), and Latin America.<\/p><p>Austin found himself behind another set of cameras in 2014 \u2013 those of the award-winning, pulse-pounding thriller Nightcrawler.\u00a0 He was hired by director and producer Dan Gilroy of the Bourne Legacy fame as technical consultant on the movie, working alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Bill Paxton and Riz Ahmed.\u00a0 The script later went on to be nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 2015 Oscars and UK BAFTA Awards.<\/p><p>When Austin isn\u2019t glued to his video camera he is also a distinguished and highly successful operations director who has an extensive background in new technology, systems management and business operations.\u00a0 He has an acute awareness of the evolving nature of the digital, publishing and broadcasting businesses and has organized, coordinated and directed highly successful digital media projects and direct-to-consumer products.<\/p><p>In his downtime he enjoys lakeside living with his wonderful wife and children, is currently completing his EMT certification and has just finished shooting his latest reality show, a Netflix Original, due to be released later this year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
