Video — Joseph Rubinstein Photography

“Joseph Rubinstein is a great collaborator and inspirational cinematically. He was enthusiastic and has an exceptional work ethic. He worked in a hostile work environment with grace and humility, never caring about his own ego but doing what was best for the project. He’s certainly a director’s DP. In the trenches, he’ll give his all for you.”

— Darnell Martin, Director (Cadillac Records, OZ, Do the Right Thing)

“Working with Joe was one of the most fulfilling, freeing and fun experiences I have ever had making music videos. Is that enough f’s? Our artistic connection and his willingness and wisdom in realizing our mutual vision is unparalleled.”

— Kid Moxie, musical artist

As a cinematographer I believe my job is to create the most compelling sandbox for the director and actors to play in. I use every element I can from light, framing, movement, texture to enhance the director’s vision and the actor’s performance.

Digital Bolex Commercials

Digital Bolex needed a commercial that conveyed the idea that no matter what you shot on the D16, the quality would be high enough you could project it in a movie theater and have it look and feel like a movie.

ZEISS CP3 film Miscreants

Choreographer Olga Sokolova, fashion designer Victor Wilde, and I brand, created a 55 minute narrative story told completely through dance.

The Dancer and the D16

One of the great joys of being a photographer or filmmaker is capturing amazing performances, and Olga Sokalova is one of the greatest performers I have gotten the honor to capture in motion. This spot was created for Digital Bolex to show how the camera treated movement and skin tones.
