Alex Lopez is a Director of Photography based in Oakland, California, working across commercial, branded, documentary-style, product, and technical productions.
His work focuses on clean, controlled imagery in real-world environments: technology, infrastructure, transportation, product launches, executive interviews, field production, and stories built around real people. He is often brought in when a production needs to stay lean, move efficiently, and still feel polished.
Alex works as both a cinematographer and camera operator, with a practical command of lighting, exposure, camera systems, and on-set problem solving. His background spans camera department work, still photography, photojournalism, commercial production, and years supporting professional camera, lighting, and grip packages for working crews.
In addition to cinematography, Alex works across lighting, color, and finishing, helping maintain a consistent image from capture through editorial, web, social, internal, and campaign delivery.
Selected clients and projects include Google, Embark Trucks, Navier Boats, BART / Clipper, AC Transit, Levi’s, Pfizer, Northeastern University, Matrix Fitness, and Apple.
