Available to hire
Hi, I’m Jonathan Pope, a cinematographer and filmmaker focused on documentary and narrative storytelling. I work across feature films, television pilots, and documentary projects, bringing a collaborative, visually driven approach to every production.
I love crafting images that serve the story—experimenting with light, lenses, and camera movement to create immersive moments. With Emmy-nominated work on The Social Dilemma and a track record across independent features, I’m always exploring new techniques and workflows to elevate the craft.
