The Wandering DP Podcast is the ultimate source for cinematography knowledge, news, and interviews. From one on one interviews with some of today’s top directors of photography to educational components on how you can capture better images, it is your home for information on the art of digital cinematography. Whether you are new to the camera department or are a professional DP, there is something to be learned and put in to action in each and every episode.
The podcast The Wandering DP Podcast is created by Patrick O'Sullivan - Cinematographer, Director of Photography, & Leica M Enthusiast. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
We are back this week with cinematographer Tommy Maddox-Upshaw ASC to talk about his work on the film Opus.
Tommy shares stories from pre-production, how he approaches the prep process, working on set and much more.
Definitely check out the trailer below if you haven't already seen the movie. Tommy and the team pulled off some great work and it was a pleasure to have him on to tell us all about it.
Hopefully we can have him back on in the future to share more on his latest work.
Enjoy!
None of the podcast or Youtube channel content would be possible without the Patreon support and each week I upload breakdowns of either other people's work or my own with the goal of learning something new.
If you are interested in supporting the show and getting access to all the breakdown videos as soon as they become available please consider becoming a member.
This week we are going to look at some of my own work on a recent TV commercial where we were forced to re-create a studio environment in a very small location. Not a complicated set up but the time constraints and the location constraints meant we had to employ some unique problem solving skills.

A gaffer's worst nightmare is when the DP asks for a light to be thrown into the ceiling to help boost the ambient.
There is a good way to do it and a bad way to do it. This week on the show I chat through why I think an LED version of a Source 4 is the ultimate friend for any DP looking to gain more control.
This idea has added more to my recent work than any other concpet I can think of. It has changed the way I work for the better.
Enjoy!

This course is a comprehensive look at everything a commercial cinematographer has to do throughout a typical production cycle.
We start at the pre-production meetings where I walk through what I look for, signs that things are going well or not, I lay out what I like to have done at what time in the process to make sure I am on top of everything from storyboards to finding crew, and then finally we make our way on to the virtual set to light and shoot the entire ad.
I am super proud of the content in this course and there is not another resource like this available. It is more valuable then sitting next to me on an actual job and observing all the steps and tasks because I can actually take my time and explain every little decision.
Once you understand why the decisions are being made then you can start to shape your own approach.
If you are making the jump to larger sets or larger projects and you want to know what is expected and at the same time learn the prescription for being able to effectively wield the tool of the Framework then this course is not to be missed.

Not all cinematography jobs are created equal.
Some jobs require creative input and some jobs do not. At least not in the same quantity. Knowing the difference between the types of jobs and what is being asked or required from you can have a big impact on the quality of the work.
I think the goal for most working in the industry is to be sought after for their creative qualities but what we want and what reality actually looks like are often quite different.
In this episode I try and lay out how I differentiate between the demands of certain jobs and how I navigate between the two.
I hope it helps.
Enjoy!
The breakdowns that used to happen on the podcast are now happening over on Patreon in video format.
If you want all the technical problem solving and the step by step analysis of the jobs that I am working on throughout the year then Patreon is the only place to get that.
This week we are looking at a large interior scene of a woman listening to some music. There were schedule challenges, location challenges, and resource challenges. The trifecta of fun for any cinematographer.

This week on the podcast we are back to our regularly scheduled programming after an awesome "Life Off Set" series hosted by Jon Bregel.
There is no guest this week just myself rambling about the difference between taste and judgement and what I think actually moves the needle on any production.
Cinematography has so many different angles we can talk about but in the end what really matters is your ability to answer yes or no to a series of questions as you try and curate the image from the start of a production through to it's completion.
If you didn't understand how a DP adds value to a film or commercial then hopefully this episode will help get you started.
Enjoy!

Cinematographer Katelin Arizmendi joins our esteemed guest host Jon Bregel to discuss a broad range of topics on this week's episode.
The "Life Off Set" series continues to shine a light in areas and challenges in filmmaking that are rarely discussed. There is so much value in hearing theses conversations from people inside the industry pushing the limits both creatively and personally.
I think this series has highlighted how important it is to do everything in your power to look after yourself and try and remember that this is a long game.
I appreciate Jon and Kate coming on and sharing their own points of view and experiences and I hope you will as well.
Enjoy!

Hello podcast people!
This week we are kicking off February with a bang. For the first time ever I am handing the hosting reins over to Jon Bregel for a new series called "Life Off Set".
Veteran listeners of the show will be familiar with Jon as he was a guest on Episodes #387 and more recently #458.
If you haven't already listened to those episodes I would encourage you to do so efore starting this series because we discuss Jon's unique background and how he has ended up as a filmmaker, a coach for filmmakers, and the found of the Nourish community.
The goal of this Life Off Set series is to share a side of cinematography and directing that is very rarely discussed. Almost all of the media around filmmaking is about making the thing or talking about making the thing. THis series is about what you do when you aren't making the thing. The other 90% of time that makes up your life.
I loved listening to these conversations and I am sure you are going to get just as much value out of them as I have.
In this first episode Jon sits down with cinematographer Khalid Mohtaseb. Khalid is one of my favorite cinematographers and is always pushing the limits visiually in his projects. It was great to get a peak behind the work and hear all about his own process for navigating his success.
Enjoy!

This week on the show I go over my prep process for commercial work in 2025. I have been through a number of different systems in my career but I think my current set up is the most efficient and the most useful.
Building a solid prep process is always easy, keeping it up to date is the hard part.
The app Obsidian has been a game changer for me over the last 12 months. Super easy, everythin g in one place.
I have no excuse not to use it. Hope this helps.

This is not financial advice.
