Talent

I am a camera operator based in Brooklyn, NY. I have 4+ years of experience working on non-linear film production such as documentaries, advertising, and live performances. I am passionate about visual story-telling, photography, capturing moments on camera.

My name is Jonathan Rodriguez and I was born in Los Angeles, California. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish). I went to school in NYC at BMCC and got an associate degree in Video Arts & Technology. I also went to City College of New York, and I have a BFA degree in Film & Video Production.

Since my first day in school, I knew I wanted to become a great cinematographer and fell in love with composition, camera movement, lighting, and helping people turn their vision into reality. 

As a camera operator, I had the opportunity to work with:

Apple TV+" In shows called Swagger—First Look and Swagger—Beyond Court.
