Justin Chapman is a Cinematographer based in Florida.
While resumes are great, I think they’re a bit too impersonal. So here’s my background in a couple paragraphs. I graduated from the University of Florida, studying Literature along with Film. Putting an emphasis on cinematography, I create films that prioritize the blending of story, color, and light. While my projects tend to lean more towards travel and athletics, I am open to whatever work is thrown my way, whether it be personal or commercial.
My goal with what I film is to have the human element of visual storytelling be the emphasis. If a viewer leaves my videos without feeling differently afterwards, I’m not doing my job correctly. The priority is to show the world of the character as they FEEL it, rather than just the objective way it is. We’ve all ridden bikes before. But do we remember the experience in a manner similar to the kids riding their bikes in E.T. do? Magical sunset, gliding along the pavement, sweeping John Williams score playing in the background? Most likely not. Same idea with my work. To show what is ‘felt’, not just seen.
Give me a call or text on what project it is you’d like to bring to life, and I’ll be more than happy to help to the best of my abilities.
Best,
Justin
