Director of Photography Services
Experienced DPs for film, TV, commercials, and documentaries across Saudi Arabia, from Riyadh to Jeddah and Dammam.
The director of photography, also known as the cinematographer, is responsible for the visual language of a film through lighting, camera movement, lens selection, and composition. In Saudi Arabia, DPs work with extraordinary visual variety—from Riyadh's modern skyline to AlUla's ancient desert formations. They collaborate closely with the director to establish the look and atmosphere of every scene.
We connect you with 70+ directors of photography across Saudi Arabia whose reels span features, series, commercials, and music videos. Our network includes cinematographers experienced with the latest digital cinema cameras and film formats, many with credits at NEOM Studios and international productions.

Our DP Network
What experience levels of DPs do you provide?
We offer DPs across all experience levels in Saudi Arabia: emerging cinematographers for indie and low-budget projects, mid-level DPs with solid Saudi commercial and documentary credits, and senior DPs with feature film and international broadcast experience. We match experience to your budget and project requirements.
How do you match DPs to projects?
We review your creative brief, reference materials, and budget to shortlist Saudi DPs with relevant genre experience and aesthetic alignment. You receive curated showreels and can request direct conversations with candidates before booking.
What camera systems do your DPs work with?
Our DPs in Saudi Arabia are proficient across all major cinema camera systems including ARRI Alexa, RED, Sony Venice, Blackmagic, and Canon cinema lines. Many specialize in specific systems but all are adaptable to production requirements and Saudi rental availability.
Do DPs come with their own equipment?
Some owner-operator DPs in Saudi Arabia bring personal camera packages, while others work with rented equipment. We coordinate equipment sourcing based on your preference and budget, whether through DP-owned gear, Saudi rental houses, or production-provided equipment.
Can you provide international DPs for shoots in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. We source international DPs for shoots in Saudi Arabia, handling logistics and coordination. We also provide Saudi DPs for international productions requiring local cinematography talent abroad.
What's included in DP day rates?
