Commercial Cinematographer in New York
I shoot commercials in New York. Lifestyle, fitness and health, from look development through the final grade.
What I shoot here
I'm Erin Collett, a New York Emmy-winning cinematographer based in New York and Sydney. I specialize in commercial and documentary cinematography across lifestyle, fitness and health.
Over ten years as a working DP, I've shot for more than thirty brands. Google, OpenAI, Meta, Walmart, Sony Music, UPS, WhatsApp, Ernst & Young, Oracle, IBM.
Purina, Zarbee's and Bio True were shot across NYC locations and stages.
How I work
Same approach on every job. Build the light first, then shoot fast inside it.
I own and specialize in the DJI Ronin 4D. It's a camera built for movement. Light texture and constant flowing movement is what makes the work mine.
I work across New York City and New Jersey. Newark, Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken and Fort Monmouth are all a short drive from the city.
