Cinematographer /FPV Drone Pilot-Bangalore

Orchids The International School • Central Marketing, Video Production

Location: Mumbai (in office, 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.
Solid working knowledge of lenses, filtration, and codecs.

Lighting & visual craft
Film- or advertising-level lig
