Services
Direction and cinematography for brands, agencies, and organizations.
Working nationally and internationally, based in Toledo, Ohio.
What I do
Direction
Creative development, treatment, and on-set direction for commercial and branded documentary work.
Cinematography (DP)
Director of Photography services for productions where another director or agency is leading — as on a production for NBC Sports.
Producing
End-to-end delivery for organizations who need a single trusted partner across the whole process — as on Netflix's Full Swing.
Production capabilities
Built for the job.
Josh Nagel Productions maintains a flexible, cinema-ready production package that scales from fast, lean shoots to multi-day commercial and documentary productions. Each setup is tailored around the story, location, crew, and delivery—not a fixed rental menu.
Camera + lenses
Cinema camera coverage, premium full-frame glass, on-set monitoring, and flexible A/B-camera configurations.
Movement + aerial
Tripod, handheld, gimbal, drone, and specialty movement options selected for the needs of the production.
Lighting + sound
Professional lighting, grip, wireless audio, and field-recording support for polished work in real environments.
Custom camera, lighting, crew, and rental requirements are quoted per project.
How engagements typically work
Projects move through development, production, and delivery — treatments and planning, casting and location scouting, the shoot itself, and post through final delivery.
Who I work with
Agencies, brand marketing teams, and organizations across sports, entertainment, music, and national brands — working nationally and internationally, based in Toledo, Ohio.

Netflix (Full Swing), The Wall Street Journal / Campbell's (Director of Photography), NBC Sports, TNT Sports, DAZN, Sony Music Entertainment, Dewesoft — plus other approved credits.
