Melbourne Director of Photography – Alan Vidot

Melbourne DOP – Alan Vidot


Looking for an experienced Melbourne DOP to bring your vision to life?
With over 20 years in visual storytelling, I offer a creative, reliable, and technically confident cinematography service tailored to short films, branded content, commercials, documentaries, and corporate projects.

🎥 Who I Am

I'm Alan Vidot, a Melbourne-based Director of Photography (DOP) / Videographer. I began my career in photography, developing a strong eye for lighting and composition, which naturally evolved into cinematography. Today, I work closely with directors, producers, and agencies to capture stories with visual clarity and emotional impact.

🔧 What I Offer as a Melbourne DOP

  • Cinematography for short films and narrative projects

  • Commercial and branded content shoots

  • Documentary cinematography

  • Corporate video production

  • Aerial cinematography (licensed drone operator)

  • Lighting design and camera department support

Whether you need a full-service DOP, a camera operator for a day, or someone who can collaborate closely on the visual tone of a piece — I bring experience, professionalism, and creative insight to every set.

📍 Why Work With a Local DOP in Melbourne?

Being Melbourne-based means I’m ready to shoot across the city and beyond — with strong knowledge of local locations, crews, and gear houses. I’ve collaborated on award-nominated films (like Blvck Gold), national campaigns, and grassroots projects alike.

💬 What Clients Say

“It’s fantastic working with Alan, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with him on a diverse range of projects, from corporate videos to narrative films and music videos, and he consistently delivers exceptional results.
