I am a cinematographer in practice, I offer my services to your film crew as a Director of Photography(DP) or Camera Assistant (1st AC). As the DP, I am responsible for the image. I take direction from you or your appointed directors. I am dedicated to managing the camera/lighting department, whether this means managing both people and equipment or just a simple camera and lighting arrangement. As an 1stAC, I will answer to the DP. My job includes accurately pulling focus as well as managing all of the camera equipment. I will be responsible for preparing all camera bodies, lenses, filters, matteboxes, and monitors to get the shot. If required, I will also assist with dollies, cranes, tripods, sliders, etc.
