Welcome!

I’m Rob DeFreitas, a freelance cinematographer based in Southern Ontario, a proud father of five, and the founder of Bombora Boards—a half baked skateboard brand. When I’m not on set, you’ll find me in my studio, crafting and creating.

Take a moment to explore my site and dive into my portfolio. If something catches your eye and you have a project in mind, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Maybe pick up a skateboard along the way?

Cheers,
Rob DeFreitas

It's kinda freaky being back in the @ytvofficial studios. I used to do lighting for this show and several others back in 2007. I got called an OG today lol. #lighting #lightingboard #tv #broadcast #thezone #television #lightingtech
