Bio & background

Michael Corridore is an Australian director and photographer based in Sydney, represented for film by Photoplay | Playtime with U.S. West and East Coast sales contacts. A long-running Lürzer’s Archive Top 200 photographer, he directs TVCs and branded content as an extension of his stills practice. Evidenced director credits include Nestlé Soothers (Ogilvy), Toyota’s “Genuine, Not Generic” (Dentsu), Bose “Get It” (2020, cinematography by Hugh Miller), Mercedes-Benz “Inspired By The City” (Clemenger BBDO), The University of Sydney “Unlearn” (The Monkeys, 2017), Ola “Ola World” (Royals), ABC Artbreaks “The Rip” (shortlisted in Cannes Lions Film Craft, 2016), Uncle Toby’s Goodness Shakes (Ogilvy AU, August 2024; rogue blender and chaotic bus ride), and a film-and-photography project for Honda Australia. Photoplay specifically flags award-winning film campaigns for University of Sydney, Nestlé and Mercedes-Benz. Commercial work sits at automotive and product/brand storytelling, with clear comedy energy on the recent Uncle Toby’s execution. Fine-art landscape, human-impact and collage practice, described around “fictional realities,” parallels the constructed narrative eye he brings to moving image.
