Description

I am a director and director of photography with over 20 years of experience in television and film production. I work in all genres from commercials, to narrative film to documentary and ENG. If I have a trademark style, it's in my lighting. I have a strong background as a lighting DP - sometimes with a commercial budget and lots of toys, sometimes on a run and gun documentary with nothing but practicals and natural light. I enjoy either scenario.
I shoot all formats, film and digital. In addition to myself, I have a fantastic group of DPs, operators, sound mixers, make up artists and every other position who regularly work for my company. I own a wide variety of cameras - Sony F55, F3, F800, F900, EX3, Arri Alexa, C300 - high end lenses, lighting and grip trucks, a studio and everything else needed for just about any production.
Please visit my website for more information about me and to see examples of my work.

Recommendations

  • Kelly Alexander recommends Jake Zortman Cinematography

    "Beautiful footage and incredibly professional. Looking forward to working with Jake again."

  • LS FH recommends Jake Zortman Cinematography

    "Jake and his crew are true pros, and nice guys to boot. We had a quick interview shoot in a residence that we weren't able to scout beforehand -- but Jake has a great eye and had a beautifully lit shot framed up in no time. I really appreciated his adaptability, expertise and can-do attitude. Highly recommended. Your production will be in good hands!"
