The role of cinematographers

A cinematographer can achieve a certain height without having to control the lens personally every time, so his position is renamed as "director of photography" and the English name is Director of Photography. DP for short. It takes a process from photography assistant to handheld to photographer, and finally to photography director.

Photographers in Europe generally don't care about lighting art. In other countries, including the United States, photographers generally handle the lighting themselves.
