Better gear won’t fix images you don’t know how to design.
Aspiring cinematographers,
If your footage looks clean but not portfolio-worthy, it’s usually not the gear.
It’s that you’re not intentionally designing the image - you’re reacting to what’s in front of you.
I’ve spent 15+ years as a cinematographer (Adidas, T-Mobile, ESPN, Google, 2 features). The real shift is having a repeatable way to think through and shape the image on set.
You might notice:
You adapt instead of control
The look depends on the location
Decisions feel inconsistent
Too much gets figured out in post
