Director of Photography Chris McDaniel
Servicing Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Raleigh, and Charlotte NC
I’m a DP/Camera Operator for Television, Commercial and Corporate productions.
I’ve worked with networks like Netflix, HBO, Bravo, HGTV, Discovery, Travel Channel, History Channel, Nat Geo, and many more.
I bring an organic, yet cinematic style to productions by employing various visual language techniques learned and practiced over a 20 year career. I’m producer-minded and confident in both single and multi-camera situations.
Aside from directing thoughtful scene coverage, I specialize in beautiful interview setups and story-motivated, cinematic B-Roll.
Additionally, I do a lot of post production, so always cover scenes with editing in mind, providing as much diverse footage to work with as possible.
My passion for outstanding visuals is only rivaled by my deep appreciation for tech, so I’m always up-to-date on the latest trends in cameras, production equipment and practices.
I’m proactive, a problem solver, team player, and always bring a positive attitude to set.
