Videographer

Capture authentic, cinematic footage of the farmers, groves, and harvest behind our product to tell the true story of its origin.

Location: Onsite - Based in Palestine (West Bank); this is essential as the role requires on-the-ground access to farms and villages
Role Type: Contract | Consultant-contractor | Ongoing (shoot-based cadence)
Reports to: Creative Director / Creative Strategist

Our client is a mission-driven e-commerce brand dedicated to building economic pathways for Palestinian farmers. They are seeking a Videographer based in the West Bank to capture the real story at the source. In this role, you will film the farmers, olive groves, and daily life behind the product with a storyteller’s eye, collaborating with the Creative Director and Strategist to execute shot briefs.

Your work will feed a central footage library, ensuring that marketing channels are consistently populated with authentic, high-quality material that highlights provable origin.

Our client believes that provable origin is their strongest differentiator, relying on the genuine connection between customers and the people producing their goods. The creative team is focused on maintaining a vibrant archive of documentary-style content that showcases the human element of agriculture in the West Bank. This role is specifically hired from within Palestine because the authenticity of the location cannot be replicated elsewhere.

• Film the farmers, olive groves, harvest processes, and village life with a cinematic approach, capturing both wide landscapes and intimate human moments.
• Execute shot briefs provided by the Creative Director or Strategist, while applying your own artistic judgment to elevate the visual narrative.
• Plan, coordinate, and run shoots on location largely independently, managing logistics and schedules without constant supervision.
• Shoot product-focused and lifestyle scenes that align with the brand’s aesthetic and messaging.
• Continuously build and expand the company’s footage library, providing fresh, usable material for editors to cut into ads and social content regularly.

• Essential:
  Based in Palestine (West Bank), with the ability to physically reach local farms and rural communities.
• Demonstrated videography skills, proven through a reel featuring documentary, human-interest, or place-based work rather than just polished commercial shots.
• Proficiency in operating professional cinema cameras, specifically the Sony FX6, as well as associated audio and lighting setups.
  
  Note:
  
  The client provides the primary camera kit and gear; you do not need to own a full professional rig, but you must know how to operate it effectively.
• Storytelling sensibility: the ability to find and frame the "human moment" and build trust with subjects so they appear natural and comfortable on camera.
• Self-directed work ethic, capable of planning a shoot, executing it reliably, and delivering finished raw footage without hand-holding.
• Respectful and culturally attuned approach when working with farmers and rural communities.

• Basic video editing skills, allowing you to provide rough cuts or select best-of sequences alongside raw footage.
• Personal connection to the agricultural heritage or mission of supporting Palestinian farmers.
• Experience in drone photography or aerial cinematography of landscapes.
