陳韻如是一位來自台灣的電影攝影師,擁有14年橫跨劇情片、實驗電影、紀錄片,以及 Netflix 等串流影集製作的經驗。擔任多年攝影大助,她於2019年轉型為攝影指導,並將紮實的技術基礎帶入影像創作之中。她參與攝影的作品曾入選包括Golden Harvest Awards(金穗獎)及San Diego Independent Filmmaker's Festival等影展。

近期畢業於American Film Institute (AFI) 美國電影學院攝影藝術碩士(MFA),期間同時使用數位與35毫米底片格式進行拍攝創作。她相信攝影不僅應服務於故事本身,也應承載對社會的關懷與反思,因此致力於透過影像放大弱勢與少數族群的聲音,創造能夠超越畫面、引發情感共鳴的作品。

成長過程中深受動畫作品與東亞電影文化的影響,潛移默化地塑造了她對情感、節奏以及人際連結的感知與理解,也成為她影像創作語言的重要養分。
