Photographer Wanted

Cinematic Vision Essential

We're not looking for button-pushers, we need visual directors who understand the language of cinema:

Exposure Mastery

• Manual exposure control in all scenarios
• Understanding the relationship between ISO, aperture, and shutter speed
• Exposure for creative intent, not just "correct" metering
• Dynamic range management and highlight/shadow control
• Working with challenging lighting ratios

Compositional Excellence

You should demonstrate mastery of:

Visual Framing

• Rule of thirds and when to break it intentionally
• Leading lines and visual flow
• Negative space for emotional impact
• Frame within frame techniques
• Aspect ratio considerations for different platforms

Depth & Dimension

• Strategic use of depth of field for subject isolation
• Foreground, midground, background layering
• Bokeh quality and background management
• Creating three-dimensional space in two-dimensional frames

Movement & Dynamics

• Camera movement with purpose (not random gimbal sweeps)
• Subject movement within the frame
• Timing and anticipation of decisive moments
• Blocking and staging for visual storytelling

Lighting Artistry

Your portfolio should demonstrate sophisticated understanding of:

Lighting Quality

• Hard vs. soft light and when to use each
• Light modification techniques (diffusion, reflection, flagging)
• Creating dimension through shadow as much as highlight
• Skin tone rendering and texture management

Lighting Direction

• Rembrandt, loop, butterfly, and split lighting patterns
• Edge lighting and rim light for separation
• Practical light integration (using environment lights as sources)
• Creating mood through lighting temperature and color

Cinematic Techniques

• Three-point lighting as foundation, not formula
• Negative fill for drama and contrast
• Motivated lighting (light that feels natural to the scene)
• High-key and low-key aesthetics
• Chiaroscuro techniques for artistic impact

Color Theory

• Color temperature consistency and creative discord
• Complementary and analogous color harmonies
• Color grading in-camera through gels and environment
• Understanding how colors interact with skin tones

Post-Production Capabilities

We require photographers and videographers who deliver finished, polished work:

What We Expect

• Complete editing workflow from RAW to deliverable
• Color grading and correction with cinematic intent
• Retouching with natural, editorial standards (not over-processed)
• Understanding of export settings for various platforms
• Consistent look and feel across a series

What We DON'T Want

• Unedited RAW files dumped for someone else to process
• Automatic presets without artistic refinement
• Inconsistent color science across a shoot
• Over-sharpened, over-saturated "Instagram" aesthetics

Aesthetic Alignment

Your work should demonstrate understanding of our content style:

Our Visual Language

• Sophisticated eroticism: Sensual without being explicit
• Fashion-forward: Understanding of styling, wardrobe, and trends
• Artistic storytelling: Every frame should have intention
• Cinematic mood: Film-inspired color, composition, and atmosphere
• Editorial quality: Magazine-worthy production values

Reference Points

If your influences include cinematographers like:

• Roger Deakins (lighting and composition mastery)
• Emmanuel Lubezki (natural light artistry)
• Hoyte van Hoytema (texture and atmosphere)
• Rachel Morrison (intimate, character-driven visuals)

Or photographers like:

• Annie Leibovitz (editorial portrait excellence)
• Peter Lindbergh (elegant, timeless fashion)
• Helmut Newton (sophisticated provocation)
• Paolo Roversi (dreamlike, ethereal aesthetics)

...then you likely align with our vision.
