Director of Photography Services

Here is how this works in practice. We supply directors of photography who shape the visual language of shoots in Croatia. Our team places cinematographers who develop the look with the director, design lighting and camera ways, lead the camera and lighting departments, and translate creative intent into images on the day. They work across features, television and commercials, command today's camera kits and lenses, and bring the visual judgement to make the most of Croatia's distinctive settings. This includes the Adriatic light.

Here is the short of it. The walled cities of Dubrovnik and Split, the islands and Plitvice. A director of photography we place works fluently in English, works with closely with the director and production designer, and brings the tech and artistic command to deliver a coherent, ambitious look across demanding locations, weather and a fixed shooting schedule.

Here is the breakdown. Croatia draws cinematographers for exactly the qualities that draw shoots: the clarity of the Adriatic light. The walled cities of Dubrovnik and Split. The natural drama of Plitvice Lakes and the islands. The country's record proves the appeal: 'Game of Thrones' used Dubrovnik as King's Landing, 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' filmed there as Canto Bight, and 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' shot on the island of Vis. The Academy of Dramatic Art (Zagreb) trains cinematographers.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The HAVC-administered 'Filming in Croatia' incentive, a 25% cash rebates rising to 30% in less-developed regions, keeps ambitious shoots choosing the country. Directors of photography we place work to global standards, command the newest camera and lighting technology, and gain from EU free movement and straightforward intra-EU gear movement when a production brings in pro camera crew or kit from neighbouring Italy, Slovenia and Austria.
