Elias Goldstein
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Hi!
I was born and raised in Upstate NY, attended Ithaca College’s Park School with a focus on cinematography, and began my career shooting short documentary projects in LA. My early years were spent loading film and pulling focus on a variety of commercial, music video and narrative projects, where I gained a strong technical background.
My recent documentary credits include work on a feature film with Jennifer Lopez, profiles of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals for John Legend’s Free America campaign, and contributions to the film Making Time, directed by Liz Unna.
My collaboration with director Georgia Tribuiani began when we teamed up on her short film, At Work, which went on to be exhibited at the Berlin Fashion Film Festival and Fashion Film Festival Milano. Georgia’s more recent experimental short, Things Must Separate, explored balanced framing with inherent visual tension and garnered a Vimeo Staff Pick and screenings at the Hammer Museum and Nowness.
In 2018, I joined the International Cinematographers Guild, contributing to John Legend’s Christmas Special, A Legendary Christmas, and continue to shoot a variety of narrative, commercial and independent projects. I love the collaborative process on set and finding creative solutions to challenges. In my spare time, you can find me camping, eating bagels, and working on a cat calendar.
