Role Overview

We're looking for a hands-on cinematographer who knows how to shoot for digital-first platforms, not someone obsessed with cinema theory but clueless about Instagram, Reels, and brand timelines.

You will be responsible for end-to-end visual capture of photos and videos optimized for social media, digital campaigns, and brand storytelling.

If you can't adapt your shooting style for different brands, formats, and fast turnarounds, this role is not for you.

Key Responsibilities: Shooting & Production

Shoot high-quality photos and videos for: Social media (Instagram, Reels, Stories, YouTube Shorts) Brand campaigns Ads, testimonials, product & lifestyle shoots Handle on-ground shoots at client locations (cafes, studios, offices, events, outdoor locations) Plan shots based on content briefs, brand tone, and platform requirements Execute both planned and spontaneous content (UGC-style, BTS, live moments)

Technical Execution

Operate cameras, lenses, gimbals, lights, and audio gear confidently Ensure correct framing, lighting, composition, and audio quality Shoot with editing in mind (formats, ratios, transitions, continuity)

Collaboration

Work closely with: Social media managers Content strategists Designers and editors Understand campaign goals and deliver visuals that perform, not just look "aesthetic"

Must-Have Skills

Strong understanding of digital & social-first video formats Experience shooting for brands, agencies, or creators Solid knowledge of: Camera settings Lighting setups (natural + artificial) Composition for vertical and horizontal content Ability to adapt shooting style across industries (food, fashion, interiors, corporate, lifestyle)

Good to Have (Not Mandatory, But a Big Plus)

Basic video editing knowledge (Premiere Pro / Final Cut / Cap Cuts) Experience shooting Reels, short-form ads, and UGC-style content Understanding of social media trends and content formats Ability to suggest shot ideas instead of just following instructions

What We're NOT Looking For

Pure wedding or event-only shooters with no digital brand experience Cinematographers who need weeks to deliver content People who shoot for their portfolio but ignore brand objectives

What You Get

Work with multiple brands across industries Creative freedom within clear brand boundaries Fast-paced agency exposure (you'll grow fast if you can keep up) Opportunity to build a serious digital-first visual portfolio
