Cinematography for Documentary

Our independent documentary project in Atlanta, GA is seeking a highly experienced Director of Photography for principal photography slated for October 2026, approximately 3 weeks of work. This film explores the impact of historical preservation efforts on community identity, with a naturalistic, intimate tone. We are looking for someone who can capture authentic moments and compelling visuals in various real-world settings, often with available light or minimal setups. Responsibilities include collaborating closely with the director on visual storytelling, overseeing camera and lighting crews, and managing all cinematography aspects from pre-production to wrap. You should be a senior level DP with a strong documentary background and a keen eye for evocative imagery. Your own camera package (cinema camera, lenses, basic lighting, sound recording for sync) is essential. Please submit your resume and a link to your reel showcasing your documentary work. Travel and accommodation are not provided as we are prioritizing local Atlanta crew. Compensation is TBD, depending on experience.
