ASC Welcomes New Member Alicia Robbins
The cinematographer's credits include the series Grey’s Anatomy and Bridgerton, and the features Babysplitters and The Wedding Invitation.
Alicia Robbins, ASC grew up outside Birmingham, Alabama, and became interested in visual storytelling while studying communications at Vanderbilt University, where she did some shooting for the campus TV station. She continued her studies at the American Film Institute, earning an MFA in cinematography in 2003, and then spent the next several years shooting independent features, documentaries, music videos and commercials — “anything that kept my creative instincts sharp.”
Robbins won the ICG Emerging Cinematographer Award in 2018 for her short film Internet Gangsters, and her big break came that same year, when she was hired as C-camera operator/additional cinematographer on the Shondaland series For the People. That led to an invitation to serve as co-director of photography on Season 16 of Grey’s Anatomy, and then lead director of photography on Season 17. Robbins’ credits also include episodes of Bridgerton and Quantum Leap, the limited series Keep Breathing, and the features Babysplitters and The Wedding Invitation. She also served as lead cinematographer for Third Law Productions, a company that specializes in 360-degree capture of driving and background footage for visual-effects elements and B-roll; her projects in that arena include Creed II and The Irishman.
