Elizabeth Kitchens' is a Unit Photographer in Los Angeles, CA. Known for work on successful independents like SEARCHING (2018), ALL ABOUT NINA (2018), and LOST TRANSMISSIONS (2019). Her career began in the production office, where she developed a strong professional skill set over the course of ten years. She worked on a variety of projects ranging from large studio features like THE LAST AIRBENDER (2010), to small independents like THE BLING RING (2013). She learned how to work with and facilitate many moving parts towards a common goal, how to pay attention and anticipate, to value collaboration and open communication, how to stay calm under pressure, and above all how to put all of that towards the service of a story. A passion for photography and the cultural significance of cinema led her to Unit Photography. She transitioned from production to this new role in 2015. Her background in production allows her to fully understand the needs of each production she supports. Her work has been called observational, and she considers that high praise.
