California born and Alabama raised, Alicia Robbins obtained her MFA degree in Cinematography from the American Film Institute in 2003. As an undergrad, she studied communications at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and felt that AFI would be the most beneficial transition into the film industry. When her application was accepted into AFI, she would be the youngest to attend the cinematography program. Although green in the technical craft of cinematography, she was able to use her instinct to guide her choices. In addition, she absorbed practical aptitude from the prestigious faculty, guest DP lecturers such as Andrew Lesnie, Tak Fujimoto, and the late Conrad Hall, as well as the other students in the program. She found this experience to be truly rewarding and it helped her launch her path into the working world.

Since graduating in 2003, Alicia has been living and working as a DP and camera operator in Los Angeles. She has traveled back to the South for several projects and has shot in New York and Africa as well. In 2008 she joined Local 600 as a camera operator and strives to continually grow as a DP and operator. She loves unique stories and brings them to life through the collaborative effort of her crew members and director.

Through organization, technical proficiency, and creativity Alicia delivers the director’s vision with ease and a sense of humor. It’s a different experience having Alicia on set because it is fun professionalism, which is usually a hard combination to find. As an active triathlete, she has endless energy and strength which is truly beneficial for those long days of arduous camera work!
