Vortex Studios is looking for experienced Directors of Photography (DOPs) and Cinematographers to join our growing creative production network.

n

We're open to full-time, freelance and project-based collaborations.

n

What we do

n

Our work spans:

n

n
- Ad Films & Commercials

n
- Documentaries & Documentary Series
n
- Episodic / Branded Series
n
- Music Videos

n

n

Who we're looking for

n

We're looking for DOPs / Cinematographers who have already worked in the advertising, branded content, production house, agency or content studio ecosystem.

n

You should have a strong body of work and a clear understanding of how to translate a creative idea, script or treatment into a compelling visual language.

n

We're particularly interested in people who:

n

n
- Have a solid portfolio of commercial, branded, documentary or narrative work.
n
- Have a distinct understanding of lighting, composition, camera movement, lenses, colour and visual storytelling.
n
- Can develop and execute a visual language that serves the story and the brief.
n
- Are comfortable collaborating closely with directors, creative teams, agencies and production teams.
n
- Can work across different formats, scales and visual styles.
n
- Understand the practical realities of locations, equipment, crew, schedules and budgets.
n




- Can build and lead the right camera, lighting and technical teams for a project.
n
- Can adapt creatively without losing their own visual sensibility.
n
- Are equally comfortable with controlled commercial environments and more unpredictable, real-world filmmaking.
n
- Care deeply about the craft and the final image.
n

n

What matters to us

n

At Vortex, we don't believe every brief needs to look like an advertisement.

n

We like work that feels real, considered, emotionally connected and visually unexpected.

n

We're interested in cinematographers who don't simply make things look beautiful, but understand why a frame should look the way it does.

n

The camera, light, movement, colour and composition should all have a reason to exist.

n

Craft, visual storytelling, curiosity, experimentation and the courage to question the obvious matter to us.

n

Experience

n

We're particularly interested in DOPs who have previously worked with:

n

n
- Advertising agencies
n
- Production houses
n
- Brands
n
- Digital / content studios
n
- Independent production teams
n

n

We're less concerned about a specific number of years and more interested in the quality, relevance and range of your work.

n

Engagement

n

Depending on the filmmaker and project, this could be:

n

Full-time | Freelance | Project-based | Ongoing collaboration

n

We're open to finding the right format with the right person.

n
