Cinematographer careers
A Cinematographer, or Director of Photography, captures the visual essence of film and television productions. You work closely with directors to determine the look and feel of each scene, making decisions on lighting, camera angles, and shot composition. Key responsibilities include operating cameras, managing lighting setups, and collaborating with the production team to align the visual narrative with the creative vision.
Cinematographers play a vital role in storytelling. You’ll need strong technical skills and artistic sensibility, as well as effective communication with directors and crew.
