Role Description

The Director of Photography will lead the visual craft of TrendyMinds' video and photo productions across our client roster. This is a senior individual contributor position for a seasoned cinematographer who is ready to own the camera department on every shoot, shape the look of the work, and collaborate closely with directors, producers, and creative leadership from pre-production through final delivery.

The production landscape is shifting fast, and we need someone who isn't just keeping up but thinking ahead. The right candidate will bring a strong visual point of view, technical command of modern camera and lighting packages, and a forward-looking perspective on how new tools and techniques can raise the quality and efficiency of what we capture.

  • Visual Development: Collaborates with directors and creative leads during pre-production to define the visual approach for each project. Develops look books, shot lists, lighting plans, and camera strategies that give the production team a clear blueprint for the shoot day.
  • Technical Expertise: Stays current with camera systems, lighting technology, lens options, and production and post-production workflows. Makes informed gear decisions that balance creative ambition with budget realities.
  • On-Set Leadership: Manages the camera and lighting crew on set. Runs a department that moves efficiently, communicates clearly, and adapts when conditions change.
  • Post-Production Collaboration: Works with editors and colorists to ensure the final grade and finish honor the look established on set.
  • AI-Forward Thinking: Champions the use of AI across production workflows to improve output quality, efficiency, and scale.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of professional experience as a DP or lead cinematographer, ideally across agency, commercial, and branded content work.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise across all core cinematography disciplines, including lighting design, camera operation, lens selection, composition, on-set leadership, and post collaboration.
  • Advanced working knowledge of a variety of cameras, professional lighting and grip packages, DaVinci Resolve, Frame.io, visual reference platforms, and shot planning and pre-visualization tools.
  • Strong presentation and communication skills with the ability to represent the work confidently in client settings.
  • A demonstrated comfort and capability with AI tools as part of day-to-day work.
  • Proven ability to work alongside directors and producers with the judgment to know when to defer and when to push back.

Benefits

  • Fully remote work environment.
  • Collaborative team environment where your voice is important.
  • 30 paid days off and 401(k) matching.
  • 100% coverage of health insurance premiums for all team members and 50% for their spouses and dependents.
  • Flexible schedule to accommodate different work styles and locations.
  • Access to new equipment for producing high-quality work.
  • Philanthropy initiatives and donation matching system.
