Richard Bentley Films | Time-lapse films from Richard.

About me

Welcome to Richard Bentley films & photography website.

I create timelapse films in anything up to 8K resolution using the latest in camera technology, motion control equipment and software.

I also shoot still photographs, some of which you can find here on my site.

If you’re interested in any of the still images, or timelapse films, or have a project in mind, please get in touch via the contact section of my site.

I am originally from the UK, but am now based full-time in Doha, Qatar.

Some of the images you can see below are from a documentary I pitched, voiced and shot the timelapses for – a look at how we interact with our built environment and how this relationship shifts, influenced by economic, sociological and political change.

That’s the shot! Times Square, NYC

Detroit, Michigan, USA

Understanding Qatari architecture

It was a great feeling being both behind and in front of the camera.

Recording the voice over for the documentary was also great fun, especially seeing the edit progress as we began to replace the ‘scratch’ VO I had laid earlier via iPhone.

Time Lapse Videos

Time lapse for me is not just a profession, it is a passion, a way of looking at the world.

I understand codecs, wrappers, frame rate and raster dimensions, so whether you need 8K, 4K or HD time lapses – I can help.

I try and keep up occasional posts on 500PX, where I recently had an ‘Editor’s Choice’ for a frame from my ‘Atomium’ timelapse.

Biography

Standing still for 20 minutes in Times Square, NY time lapsing the time lapser!

I grew up in Nottingham in the UK and moved to London to go to University, followed by 7 years in Denmark (I am fluent in Danish).

I returned to the UK in the summer of 2000 to work for The BBC, followed by ITV and then spent 7 years working in over 35 countries for over 60 different broadcasters and post production companies as a workflow consultant.

I am completely self taught in the art of time lapse, it is my true passion.

I am currently based out of Doha, Qatar.

Time-lapse is like magic
It’s incredible when you start to process the images!
