Kahleem Poole-Tejada

Back to the top

As an East Coast Cinematographer and Director, Kahleem Poole-Tejada began as a comic book illustrator, independent animator and working in the game development field. Growing up in The Bronx, NYC, he’s worked with high profile companies such as Rockstar Games, Gameloft, Scholastic and THQ (under Kaos Studios), so design, technology and creativity are second nature to him. Eventually, he found his calling as a photographer under guidance of one of his best friends and has become a professional Cinematographer ever since.

Admiring the works of Ernest Dickerson ASC, Marin Scorsese, Matthew Libatique ASC, Shane Hurlbut ASC and Roger Deakins ASC, among many others, Kahleem has married his soul to the craft and art of filmmaking. This has lead him to work on narrative films, commercials, promotional pieces and also doubles as a post-production colorist.
