ABOUT ME

I am Jordan Rose, a Director of Photography based in Atlanta, with a focus on commercial and music video production. My journey into the world of film was serendipitous; I never envisioned a career in any creative field growing up. It wasn't until my mother gifted me my first camera at the age of 16 that I discovered my passion for visual storytelling. I began by taking photos and later transitioned into recording videos for my high school's football team.

After high school, I pursued a degree in Political Science at Morehouse College, following a Pre-Law track. However, a request to film a music video for a friend back home reignited my passion for cinematography.years later, after numerous trials and tribulations, I have carved out a successful career in this industry.

My success is rooted in my unwavering faith and dedication. There have been many challenging times—periods of being unbooked, broke, or feeling unmotivated—but my faith in God has provided me with the grace and opportunities to persevere. A mantra that resonates deeply with me is, "Praise God while you wait on your turn." This mindset has guided me through both the highs and lows of my career.

Being young in this industry presented its own set of challenges. Early on, my abilities were often questioned due to my age. However, through hard work, determination, and the support of my loved ones, I have proven my capabilities and earned respect within the professional community.

When I'm not behind the camera, I enjoy cooking and exploring local eateries. Some of my favorite spots include No. 246, Wings R Us, and JJ's off Wesley Chapel. Despite my busy schedule, I always make time to unwind and catch a movie, a fitting pastime for a filmmaker.

My journey would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of several key individuals. I owe everything to God, for without Him, I am nothing. My mother has been a cornerstone of my success, and my partner has been a constant source of strength and support.

Gear, crew more

  • I have extensive experience with cameras from nearly every major brand available in the United States, including Arri, Sony, RED, Black Magic, and Canon. I view cameras as essential tools and collaborate closely with directors and producers to select the best equipment for each project. This selection process considers critical factors such as budget, space, ease of use, and other logistical challenges. Additionally, I provide productions the opportunity to rent out my own camera gear on productions that i work on.

  • I view filmmaking as the most collaborative form of art. I have an extensive list of crew recommendations across all budget ranges within my area and in other regions where I have worked. I also welcome the opportunity to work with new and local crew members in any location.

  • I have cultivated relationships with several independent gear houses and vendors in the Atlanta-Metro area. These vendors are ready to support any production I am hired for, offering extremely competitive rates. I am more than willing to assist production in securing cameras, lenses, grip and electric gear, trucks, and more from these companies based on the production's needs.
