About

I’m Stephen ‘Dino’ D’Onofrio, an award-winning Director of Photography with 20+ years of experience across broadcast television, corporate communications, digital media, and live events. I manage the full production lifecycle—from concept development through final delivery—delivering efficient, creative, and technically excellent content. I’m known for capturing compelling visuals in challenging environments and for collaborating closely with clients, talent, and crews to tell on-brand stories across broadcast, web, livestreams, and executive communications.

In roles ranging from DP and videography to editing and audio/lighting, I lead multi-camera productions, mentor teams on set, and optimize workflows to hit tight timelines and budgets. My work with This Old House, Ming Tsai, and professional sports networks demonstrates my ability to blend storytelling with technical excellence and to adapt quickly to evolving platforms and audiences.
