Bio

Quantrell Colbert is an Atlanta-based photographer specializing in Motion Picture and Television photography.

 

Born and raised in Enid, Oklahoma, Colbert's father introduced him to photography when he was very young and fortunately today that seed continues to grow! 


Degreed in his profession from the University of Central Oklahoma, he moved to Atlanta, Georgia post college in 1995 to pursue graduate studies in photography at The Portfolio Center.


Quantrell began his career as an editorial, portrait photographer in Atlanta, Georgia. He has been commissioned by clients such as, Sprite, NBC, Bravo, CNN, ESSENCE Magazine, Men's Health, James Brown Family Foundation, and Steve Harvey. 


In 2006, a friend asked Quantrell if he would cover for him on a movie set. Not knowing what to expect, he almost turned the offer down. After a 12–hour day of shooting on the set of Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I get Married”, a new portal of photography was opened to him in the world of Motion Picture photography.


He made a seamless transition into Motion Pictures and Television photography in 2007, spending his first five years exclusively at Tyler Perry Studio.


Since then, Colbert has been blessed to work with some of the top studios this industry has to offer including, Apple TV+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount, MGM, Warner Brothers, Amblin Partners, NBC Universal and more. 

The results have been work that both satisfies and benefits his clients.


As a member of IATSE Local 600 since 2007, he was nominated for the prestigious Publicist Guild Award for Achievements in Motion Picture Still Photography in 2023.


Colbert's motto is "as a man thinks so is he" (Proverb 23:7).
