Project Details

Travis Johansen, Director of Photography, Provid Films, Minneapolis/St. Paul

Hiring a DP for a shoot day means trusting someone to walk in, read the room, and get it right the first time. No re-shoots, no gear headaches, no surprises when the client watches the footage back. That’s what you get with Travis Johansen – Freelance DP in the Twin Cities.

Who You’re Hiring

Travis is an Emmy-nominated Director of Photography with over 12 years of experience shooting corporate video, commercials, documentary interviews, and broadcast productions. He’s run camera on projects for brands, agencies, and production companies who needed someone who could show up, take direction, and deliver clean, usable footage without hand-holding.

The Kit He Brings

No renting gear separately, no coordinating with a third-party kit house. Travis shows up with a professional cinema kit built to go:

• Sony FX6, FX2, FX30 cameras, run solo or as an A-cam/B-cam/C-cam combo
• LED lighting for interviews, sit-downs, and controlled setups
• Wireless audio for clean sound without a boom operator on every shoot
• Directors monitoring on every project – no upcharge.
• Teleprompter rig for scripted on-camera segments – no upcharge.

Whatever the shoot calls for, the kit is already dialed in and road-tested, not assembled the morning of.

Where He Fits

• Corporate video and brand content
• Political ads and campaigns
• Documentary-style interviews and testimonials
• Livestream production
• Multi-cam shoots

Why Production Companies Call Travis First

A good DP does more than operate a camera. He reads a room, adjusts lighting on the fly, keeps a shoot day moving without drama, and hands off footage that doesn’t need to be rescued in post. That’s the difference between a crew hire who checks a box and one you actually want back on the next job.

Twin Cities based, but available to travel for the right project.
