My name is John Doty and I’m an experienced director of photography and production specialist. Right out of film school, I started at a local TV Station. I started freelancing and I've been on my own for 20 years working for ad agencies and marketing projects. I make my living as a visual storyteller and I enjoy the collaborative process of making compelling visuals. Contact me for booking inquires.
