About

Bold composition. Decisive lighting. Every frame deliberate.

Josh Maas is a Los Angeles-based Director of Photography with over a decade of feature films behind him. He came up as a gaffer and set electrician, learning light from the ground up before stepping behind the lens. That foundation shows in every frame he shoots.

His work spans thrillers, holiday films, fantasy, and drama — always grounded in the same instinct: find the most expressive image in the most efficient way.

Beyond the camera, Josh has expanded into producing, bringing the same command to creative and logistical decisions from development through delivery.
