Cinematography for Corporate Video

An independent production is seeking a talented Director of Photography for a series of high-end corporate brand videos. These projects aim to blend documentary storytelling with polished commercial aesthetics, focusing on innovative tech companies and their human impact. We're looking for someone who can elevate standard corporate content into visually compelling narratives, bringing a cinematic touch to what would typically be internal or B2B communications. Each video will be 3-5 minutes, part of a larger campaign. Your primary responsibilities will include collaborating closely with the director to develop visual concepts, planning shot lists, leading a small camera and lighting crew, and ensuring the final look aligns with our ambitious vision. We need someone who can work efficiently on location, often with limited setup time, while maintaining a premium aesthetic. This is a senior-level position requiring extensive experience with corporate and commercial visual styles. Applicants must have their own high-end cinema camera package (e.g., Arri Alexa Mini LF, Red Komodo/Raptor, Sony VENICE) with a professional lens kit (prime and zoom options), along with a basic lighting and grip package. A strong reel showcasing diverse corporate or commercial cinematography is essential. Shoots are projected for the second half of September 2026, typically 1-2 days per video, with 3-4 videos planned over approximately 3 weeks of work. Compensation is backend percentage, with a clear agreement structured from the start. We will provide additional specialized lighting, grip, and sound equipment as needed, plus a dedicated 1st AC and gaffer.
