The person in charge of shooting or recording a movie, television show, music video, or other live action production is known as the cinematographer or director of photography (DP or DOP). On such projects, the cinematographer serves as the head of the camera and lighting crews and is generally in charge of choosing the camera, film material, lenses, filters, and other equipment as well as making aesthetic and technical judgments regarding the image. This area of research and practise is known as cinematography.

The cinematographer is a director's assistant whose job it is to record a scene in line with the director's intentions. The cameraman and director may or may not get along.

In certain cases, the director will give the cinematographer unlimited freedom, while in others, the filmmaker will give the cinematographer little to no freedom and may even go so far as to dictate the precise camera placement and lens choice. When the filmmaker and cinematographer are at ease with one another, such a level of involvement is less typical. Normally, the director will explain to the cinematographer what is desired visually from a scene and give the cinematographer some leeway in attaining that look.

The film editor receives the visuals that the cinematographer captured for editing.

In the early days of cinema, the cinematographer frequently served as both the director and the person actually operating the camera. A distinction between the director and the camera operator emerged as the art form and technology advanced. The technical parts of cinematography required an expert due to the introduction of artificial lighting, faster (more light-sensitive) film stocks, and technological breakthroughs in optics.

In the days of silent movies, lighting, acting, and set design were crucial because there was no speech and no sound other than background music.

Some famous Indian cinematographers include Shubham Mote, Anurag Gogoi, Saurav Sagtani, and Mehul Kukadiya.
