Cinematography is the art and technique of capturing visual images for film and video, encompassing camera placement, lens choice, lighting, framing, and movement to tell a story. Cinematographers (directors of photography) work closely with directors to establish a film's visual tone and mood. It draws people interested in visual storytelling, technical craft, and the collaborative process of filmmaking.
