William Hellmuth - DP

Director of Photography based out of Los Angeles. I love creating meaningful images with cool people. Let’s shoot something together!

Welcome to my production company's official page! I started Hellmuth Arts as a means to handle some of the larger productions I've been taking on lately. Through this production company I'm able to produce any kind of material, whether it's a marketing campaign for your business, a commercial, music video, you name it. Hellmuth Arts is setup to handle all aspects of production from start to finish.

That 12x frame doing the Lord’s work.

Whenever I’m directing/DPing, I get so busy that I completely forget about taking any bts photos. Probably best that way.

This was fun. I wrapped production on this short a couple days ago and already knee deep in the edit. Can’t believe how format I am to have collaborated with such a fantastic cast and crew. Making movies never stops being thrilling and magical.

Hear me out: these Home Depot halogen work lights were so much fun to use in this scene.

Car rigging fun at Blue Cloud Movie Ranch. Simple but effective.

Snagging some closeups quick and dirty.

I love using architecture to shape light in interesting ways. In this case, I was able to use an .lighting 1200X to give this scene a late afternoon feel while also casting a shadow from the arched entrance. I really liked how this created two separate frames of light for each actor’s silhouette.

I got very little BTS on my short film Dixieland. But, we lit the cave interior almost exclusively with .lighting Infinibars because I figured out how to make a custom fire effect that was very convincing.
Also, with how much we had to get through in one day I’m not sure if I could’ve made it through without .end opping for me. Honestly the entire crew on this one brought their A game!
Link is in bio if you want to watch.

Capturing that early morning light. Except it’s not early morning and it’s all fake.
Fun times on this commercial for Champion Car Wash!

Sometimes the location does all of the work for you.

Working on creating storyboards for my sci-fi feature. I built a crude cardboard concept of the set, lit it, then picked up my camera. Captured every shot of the film this way.
Big thanks to for helping me wrangle the models and lights!
