Why Hire a DP

The Look Is Decided
Before the Camera Rolls.

A director of photography translates the creative direction into lighting, lenses, composition, exposure, movement and coverage. The goal is not simply to capture attractive shots—it is to build a consistent visual language that supports the story and gives the edit what it needs.

01

Lighting & Visual Style

Controlled contrast, color, exposure and composition shaped around the tone of the project—not a one-look-fits-all setup.

LIGHT
02

Camera Movement & Coverage

Lens choices, framing, movement and coverage planned around the emotion of the scene and the needs of the final edit.

MOVE
03

Visual Continuity & Set Efficiency

A consistent look across setups, paired with calm decisions that keep production moving without sacrificing the image.

FLOW
Built to Collaborate

Support the Creative.
Protect the Production.

Whether the creative is fully developed or still taking shape, Osiris works closely with agencies, producers and directors to establish the visual approach and keep production moving.

From lighting references and shot lists to crew coordination and real-time adjustments on set, the goal is to protect the look without creating unnecessary friction around the process.

Frequently Asked Questions — Miami Director of Photography (DP)

A Director of Photography (DP) is responsible for the visual execution of the film—camera, lenses, lighting approach, exposure, composition, and movement—so the final product matches the creative intent. If the director is guiding the story, the DP is shaping the look and feel on set.

I shoot commercials, advertising, branded content, corporate films, interviews/testimonials, product/lifestyle content, and select music videos. If you’re producing content for a brand or business and want cinematic visuals, this page is the right fit.

Yes. I’m comfortable jumping into an existing crew and collaborating with agency creatives, producers, directors, and editors. I can operate as DP only, or DP/Owner-Operator depending on your needs.

Yes. I can provide camera and lighting packages (or work with your rentals). I’m also able to scale up with additional lighting/grip support depending on the creative and the space.

Yes. If you need a full crew, I can help assemble a team that fits your budget and production scale—gaffer, AC, grip, sound, hair/makeup, PA, etc. If you already have crew, I can integrate smoothly.

Yes. If you already have cameras/lighting/crew or you’re working through a production company, I can come on as DP only and collaborate with your preferred package and team.

 

Both. For smaller productions I often operate; for larger commercial shoots, a dedicated operator can be ideal depending on complexity, movement, or multi-camera coverage.

 

Yes—half-day and full-day options are available depending on scope, crew needs, and location logistics. Share the shoot date(s), general run-of-show, and deliverables, and I’ll recommend the right coverage.

 

Yes. Multi-cam interviews, panels, and podcast-style setups are common requests. I’ll recommend the right camera count, lighting approach, and audio plan based on the space and deliverables.

 

Clean, cinematic, and intentional—flattering key light, controlled contrast, and purposeful shaping. For corporate, I prioritize a polished, premium look; for commercials, I tailor lighting to match the brand’s aesthetic.

 

I plan lighting around the location—working with practicals, shaping ambient light, and controlling color temperature to keep skin tones consistent. For small spaces, I use compact setups that still look high-end.

 

Yes. If you have a director/producer, I’ll collaborate on shot lists and lighting references. If you don’t, I can help build a simple shot plan and visual approach to make sure production day is efficient.

 

For commercial and corporate shoots, earlier is better—especially for multi-day productions or when a full crew is needed. That said, I can sometimes accommodate short-notice shoots depending on the calendar.

 

The fastest way to quote is:

  • Shoot date(s) + location(s)

  • Project type (commercial, branded, corporate, etc.)

  • Expected shoot duration (half-day/full-day)

  • Crew needs (DP only vs DP + camera/lighting/crew)

  • Deliverables + usage (web/social/paid ads)

Yes, if you want an end-to-end solution. Some clients book DP-only with their editor; others prefer a full production + post workflow. If post is needed, share the deliverables (lengths, formats, cutdowns) and I’ll structure it properly.

 

Yes. I’m available throughout South Florida (Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach) and for travel projects when the scope supports it.

 

Yes I am insured. 

Rates depend on scope (DP-only vs owner-operator), duration, equipment, and crew requirements. If you share the basics, I’ll send a clear quote with options based on production scale.

 

Send the shoot date, location, and a brief description of what you’re producing. I’ll reply with availability, a recommended approach (crew + gear), and a quote. You can also call/text to move faster.
