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.

Selected clients

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.

Repeat agency and production collaborators include JPA Creative, The Jakes Group, and BVK.
