Iris Ng is a Canadian cinematographer, most noted for her work on documentary films.
She worked on short films in her early career before working with Min Sook Lee on My Toxic Baby as her first full-length project. She then became more widely known for her work on Sarah Polley's acclaimed film Stories We Tell, which established her reputation as a cinematographer whose work combined the ability to "blend into a situation but also remain present as a human who can be supportive".
Working alongside director Lin Alluna and human rights activist Aaju Peter on their film Twice Colonized, Ng says: "Lin had a very decisive vision for the film’s reliance on verité filming and the incorporation of Super 8 to metaphorically illustrate scenes from Aaju’s past. I have a portfolio with both of these attributes, which allowed us to connect and develop a common vision for the film. Further to that, I am very interested in directing my creative energy toward projects that highlight critical and underrepresented stories. This film's challenging subject matter with its experimental elements felt especially enticing as well."
In 2024, she was announced as the subject of a special program highlighting her work at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.
