Philosophy of a DP
I've been chasing this neon rainbow we call filmmaking for nearly a decade. During that time I've had the opportunity to work and learn from some incredible Directors of Photography. After having some deep coffee and lunch conversations with some of them, I decided to hop on the podcast train and see if I could ride it to the top of filmmaker mountain. We tackle some of the more nuanced elements of being a cinematographer. You'll hear unique stories of each DPs journey, insights gained from years of practice, and some ideas about the job you may have overlooked.
