The Director of Photography for filming Poldark Block 1 is Cinders Forshaw.

Cinders trained at the National Film and Television School and has a degree in Film and Photographic Arts. Among her many credits are Marple, Poirot and Tipping the Velvet.

As DOP Cinders has a major creative role in providing a unique visual identity for Poldark. Lighting is key to this as it can create mood, drama and excitement for the audience - largely without them even noticing!  Here is a fascinating blog post by Crooning Dog that looks at Cinders' work in some detail.
