Job description

We're producing a series of short, engaging corporate videos for a tech company, focusing on innovative product showcases and employee testimonials. The tone is modern, clean, and aspirational, highlighting smart design and a collaborative work culture. We're looking for a senior Director of Photography to bring a polished, professional visual style to these pieces. Key responsibilities include collaborating with the director on visual concepts, executing cinematic lighting and camera work, and ensuring a consistent, high-quality aesthetic across multiple deliverables. You'll be responsible for bringing your own cinema camera package (e.g., RED, Arri, Blackmagic Ursa) with lenses and a basic lighting kit, though specialized grip or additional lighting might be rented as needed. Candidates must have extensive experience as a DP on corporate, commercial, or narrative projects, demonstrated by a strong reel showcasing diverse lighting scenarios and high production value. You should be adept at working efficiently within corporate environments, often with non-professional talent. Shoot dates are currently planned for late October or early November 2026, spread over approximately 5-7 full days, with some flexibility for prep. Specific dates will be confirmed soon. We'll handle location permits, craft services, and production coordination. This is an independent production working with a small production company based in Austin.
