The Unit Stills Photographer creates the images that represent the film to the world — on posters, in press coverage, in festival programmes, and across social and digital platforms. On a film set, the stills photographer works quietly and invisibly, capturing performances, behind-the-scenes moments, and visual compositions without disturbing the flow of the shoot. The best unit stills photographers understand cinematography well enough to frame images that feel of a piece with the film itself, rather than generic behind-the-scenes documentation.

FAQ
Are unit stills photographers present on every shoot day?
Not always. We prioritise key shooting days for stills coverage and discuss schedule with the photographer in prep.
What equipment do unit stills photographers bring?
Their own professional photography kit. We discuss specific technical requirements — particularly silent shutter capability — during prep.
Who owns the stills copyright on an Indie Matter production?
Rights arrangements are agreed contractually before the shoot. We discuss terms openly at the point of engagement.
