Theodore “Caleb” Haas is an Emmy Award-winning cinematographer from Philadelphia, based in Los Angeles. With over a decade of experience in both scripted, commercial and documentary filmmaking, his work emphasizes evocative, emotional storytelling through a character-driven lens. A deep connection to the outdoors and a passion for mountaineering inform his approach to filming in natural environments, where he combines dynamic camera movement with available light to create immersive imagery. He is particularly drawn to character driven storytelling and prioritizes collaborating with talent and creatives to answer the “why” questions in pre-production, which helps drive camera and lighting decisions. A versatile problem-solver, Caleb brings a wide range of technical skills and shooting styles to get the shot. In addition to traditional methods, he’s a master of stabilized gimbals, drones, and underwater cameras.
