Alex Lopez is a Director of Photography, video producer, camera operator, and photographer based in Oakland, California, working across commercial, branded, documentary, 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.
Through On The Moon Studio, Alex also produces small-crew commercial, branded, documentary, and technical projects, helping carry work from planning and capture through editorial review, color, finishing, campaign delivery, internal use, web, and social.
Selected clients and projects include Google, Apple, Embark Trucks, Navier Boats, BART / Clipper, AC Transit, Levi’s, Pfizer, Northeastern University, and Matrix Fitness.
