About Peter Castagnetti

I am a Los Angeles based image maker.

As both a photographer and a Cinematographer, I've had the good fortune to collaborate with incredible people, on a number of inspiring projects, across all sorts of platforms.

Most recently, i was the director of photography on the feature comedy, GOT DADDY ISSUES, written and directed by Maria Bertrand & Meg McCaig, and scheduled to release at the end of 2025.

In 2024, I was the Director of Photography on the three-part Netflix Documentary Series, THE PROGRAM; CONS, CULTS AND KIDNAPPING, as well as a Feature Dark Comedy called THE NAKED UMBRELLA, starring Jeremy Davies, Taryn Manning and Tom Arnold. THE PROGRAM became the #1 show to watch on Netflix and hit #3 globally.

Prior feature documentary projects including SXSW Grand Jury Award winner, ACCIDENTAL COURTESY: DARYL DAVIS, RACE AND AMERICA, as well as the upcoming THIS IS NOT NORMAL. This is Not Normal explores 30 years of American political discourse through the eyes of former G.W. Bush speechwriter, David Frum.

I’ve worked with rockstars, celebrities, shepherds, CEO’s, thought leaders, tech innovators and street poets. I’ve explored ultra high-speed, animation, stop-motion, technical-directed live visuals for concerts, and lead workshops on creativity and storytelling. Whether commercial, narrative, documentary, sports, music, fashion, adventure or fine art, I care about bringing heart, soul and style to ideas that matter, and creating experiences that energize the human spirit.
