I'm looking for a director of photography with expertise in filming food - grilling even better for a 2 day shoot just outside of Spokane.
I'm filming an outdoor shoot for a new grill company, and we need to make the grill and the food look amazing.
This is going to be a heavy duty shoot in terms of content load, all outdoors, so we'll mostly need to be run and gun.
Crew will be small, but we can discuss needs if there's a skill match.
Thanks!
