About Double Exposure (DBX)
At DBX, we believe powerful storytelling is built on three pillars: Focus. Feeling. Story.
We craft emotionally resonant films, branded content, and social narratives that speak with audiences - not at them. Visual language is central to how we move people.
We are looking for a Director of Photography who understands that lighting is emotion, framing is psychology, and movement is meaning.
