We had the pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Alex Rivera for this episode to talk about all things cinematography! Alex has been making a name for himself in the southeast with cinematography work in the sports, commercial & documentary world as well as shifting more into to narrative scene where he has been director of photography for a handful of film projects. We think you are going to love the insight and mindset he has on the subject matter, so without further ado, here is Alex Rivera!
