Aya Watanabe

I started my career in a commercial photo studio in Okayama, Japan, where I studied studio lighting and photo editing for 3 years before moving to London to study documentary photography/film.

After completing an internship at Ice 9 (Tromsø, Norway), I moved to Tokyo and started working in sports TV for DAZN and then full time editing documentaries, promos, behind the scenes, interviews, trailers and commercials for imageMILL.

Since turning freelance in 2021, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects including documentaries, commercials, trailers, short and feature films.

I edit bilingually in English and Japanese.
