DOP
Film's visual architect
DOP stands for director of photography, the person responsible for the visual look of a film or video production.
The DOP (also called cinematographer or DP) oversees camera work, lighting, and shot composition, translating the director's vision into images: The DOP wanted to shoot the scene with natural light.
In jewelry, DOP refers to a stick used to hold gemstones during cutting and polishing.
