Cinematographer /FPV Drone Pilot-Bangalore

Orchids The International School • Central Marketing, Video Production

Location: Mumbai (on-site, travel across India as required)

Reports to: Head of Video Production

Experience: Production-level with 10+ years (film / advertising background preferred)

About the role

We're hiring a Cinematographer based in Mumbai to anchor the visual quality of everything we shoot brand films, TVCs, documentaries, performance ads, OOH and website photography, and high-grade social content for our 120+ schools across India. You'll work across the full spectrum, from fully-resourced film sets to lean, run-and-gun days, and we expect the imagery to look considered either way.

This is a craft-first role. We want someone whose lighting, framing, and colour instincts have been sharpened on real film or ad sets, and who brings a working network of vendors and crew with them.

What you'll do
- Shoot brand films, TVCs, documentaries, ads, and stills across our schools and campaigns.
- Own the look lighting design, lensing, blocking,



and on-set colour decisions — and protect it through post.
- Lead on set: direct gaffers, focus pullers, and assistants; make quick, decisive calls when conditions change.
- Plan productions end-to-end: recces, shot lists, lighting diagrams, kit lists, and day breakdowns.
- Tap your vendor and freelance network to assemble the right crew and kit for each shoot, at the right cost.
- Partner with our editors and colourists in post; supervise the grade where needed.
- Mentor our in-house cinematographers and lift the overall craft standard of the team.

What you bring

Camera & format fluency
- Hands-on experience across industry-standard systems — ARRI (Alexa Mini / LF), RED, Blackmagic, and Sony mirrorless / cine bodies.
- Comfortable choosing the right camera for the brief, not defaulting to one.
- Strong working knowledge of lenses, filtration, and codecs.

Lighting & visual craft
- Film- or advertising-level lig
