Cinematography/Cinematographer Definitions

Cinematography – the art of photography and camerawork in film-making.

Cinematographer – the one who directs said cinematography, deciding on which camera to use, the lighting and staging of each shot, and how the resulting footage will look.

A cinematographer’s job is much more focused than the director’s. The director will manage everything about the film and how those taking part in it’s creation will do so, whislt the cinematographer solely controls the visuals.
