Job Description

About the Role

As a Senior Associate DOP – Cinematography & Photography, you will take ownership of the visual execution of video projects ranging from Meta performance ads to cinematic UGCs, social media content, and ad films.

The role is responsible for how a story looks and feels on screen, including framing, lighting, camera movement, and overall visual consistency.

You will work closely with the Production Manager, Videographers, and Editors to translate creative ideas into strong visual narratives. This role is ideal for someone who understands not just how to operate a camera, but how to think visually, make creative decisions on set, and execute with precision.

Experience

1–3 years of hands‑on experience in cinematography, videography, or related visual production roles.

Practical experience in shooting advertisements, cinematic UGCs, brand films, or performance content.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborate with the Production Manager and Senior DOP to understand the visual intent of the script or concept.

Plan shot lists, camera setups, lighting approaches, and visual references.

Decide framing, lenses, camera movement, and lighting styles suitable for platforms such as Meta Ads, UGCs, Social Media content, and ad films.

Prepare and test camera gear, lenses, rigs, lighting equipment, and accessories before shoots.

2. On Set / Shoot

Lead the camera department and take ownership of visual decisions on set.

Execute high‑quality videography with strong attention to framing, composition, exposure, and continuity.

Design and manage lighting setups across studio, indoor, outdoor, lifestyle, and cinematic environments.

Work comfortably with actors, influencers, and creators by clearly communicating framing, movements, and performance cues.

Guide talent on positioning, eyelines, and movement to achieve the best visual output.

Ensure visual consistency across multiple takes and setups.

Adapt quickly to fast‑paced shoots and creative changes without compromising quality.

3. Post‑Shoot Support

Deliver well‑organized raw footage with proper file naming and folder structure.

Share clear notes with the editing team on preferred takes, visual intent, and grading references.

Assist with basic color correction, shot selection, or rough assemblies, if skilled.

Collaborate with editors to ensure the final output matches the intended visual language.

Work closely with Producers, Videographers, Editors, and other crew members.

Guide junior team members or interns on framing, lighting basics, and on‑set discipline.

Take accountability for visual quality across projects, not just individual shots.

Maintain high attention to detail across lighting, composition, backgrounds, props, and continuity.

What We're Looking For

• Background in cinematography, videography, film, media, or related fields.
• 1–3 years of experience shooting ads, cinematic UGCs, brand films, or performance content.
• Strong understanding of camera systems, lenses, lighting, and composition.

• Comfortable communicating with actors, influencers, and creators on set.
• Strong visual taste and attention to detail.
• Good organizational habits, including media management, backups, and handovers.
• Working knowledge of Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve is a plus.
