Role overview
The Director of Photography is responsible for shaping the visual language of the studio’s work. This role focuses on light, composition, movement, and continuity across film and photographic projects. The emphasis is not on style for its own sake, but on clarity, restraint, and alignment with the broader creative direction.
The role requires sensitivity to environment, patience in observation, and confidence in decision-making. Visual choices are developed through understanding rather than urgency, allowing imagery to feel grounded and intentional.
