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.
Lighting & Visual Style
Controlled contrast, color, exposure and composition shaped around the tone of the project—not a one-look-fits-all setup.
LIGHTCamera Movement & Coverage
Lens choices, framing, movement and coverage planned around the emotion of the scene and the needs of the final edit.
MOVEVisual Continuity & Set Efficiency
A consistent look across setups, paired with calm decisions that keep production moving without sacrificing the image.
FLOWSupport 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)
What does a Director of Photography do?
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.
What types of projects do you shoot as a Miami DP?
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.
Do you work with agencies, producers, and production companies?
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.
Do you offer a camera package, lighting, and grip?
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.
Can you bring crew (gaffer, AC, grip, sound, HMU)?
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.
Are you available for DP-only (no gear) bookings?
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.
Do you also operate camera, or do you prefer a dedicated operator?
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.
Do you offer half-day and full-day shoots?
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.
Do you shoot multi-camera interviews and corporate panels?
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.
What is your typical lighting style?
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.
How do you handle location constraints (offices, tight rooms, mixed lighting)?
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.
Do you help with creative direction or shot lists?
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.
How far in advance should we book?
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.
What information do you need to quote a DP shoot?
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)
Do you offer editing or post-production?
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.
Do you travel outside Miami?
Yes. I’m available throughout South Florida (Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach) and for travel projects when the scope supports it.
Are you insured?
Yes I am insured.
What are your rates?
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.
How do we get started?
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.
