WHY?
Because every scene needs to evoke the right feeling. Camera work shapes how the audience experiences the story – through framing, movement, and light.
WHAT?
Choose camera angles, set up lighting, collaborate with the director and art department, lead the camera team, and make sure every shot is both technically and artistically on point.
WHEN?
From prep to shoot to color grading. The DoP is there from the first visual idea to the final image.
HOW?
With a creative eye, strong technical skills, leadership – and a feeling for images that stick with you.
