About

Hi, I’m Gil Shalev, a Director of Photography and cinematographer based in Even Yehuda, Israel. I specialize in lighting, camera work, and storytelling for music videos, short films, and independent productions. Over the years I’ve served as DP on a range of projects, from Nintendo store campaigns to student films, always aiming to capture authentic emotion through image and light.

In addition to photography and cinematography, I’ve grown as a content creator and video editor, working with AI-assisted workflows and a broad set of filming equipment. I’m passionate about collaborating with directors, editors, and production teams to deliver visually compelling work on time and on budget.
