Director of Photography (DOP)Advertising | Branded Content | Documentaries | Series | Music Videos

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

nWe're currently developing and producing a number of exciting campaigns, documentaries, series and brand-led projects, and we're looking to connect with cinematographers who can bring a distinctive visual point of view to the work while understanding the realities of commercial production.

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

nWhat we do

nOur work spans:

n

n
- Ad Films & Commercials
n
- Brand Films & Branded Content
n
- Digital & Short-Format Content
n
- Documentaries & Documentary Series
n
- Episodic / Branded Series
n
- Music Videos
n
- Event & Culture Films
n
- Social-First Content
n
- And other formats that don't necessarily fit neatly into a box
n

nWho we're looking for

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

nYou 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.

nWe're particularly interested in people who:

n

n
- Have a strong 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

nWhat matters to us

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

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

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

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

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

nExperience

nWe'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

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

nEngagement

nDepending on the filmmaker and project, this could be:

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

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