ABOUT
Daniella Nowitz is an award-winning cinematographer whose work is rooted in character, place, and the emotional and ethical complexities of looking.
She learned photography from her father, a National Geographic photographer, and began her career as a still photographer before spending several years as a documentary editor. Wanting to bring those disciplines together, she turned to cinematography and moved to Los Angeles to attend the American Film Institute Conservatory.
Daniella became the first woman to win both the Israeli Academy Award (Ophir) and the Israeli Television Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Her credits include ASIA, Israel’s official submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film; HBO Max’s NORMALI; CANNESERIES-winning CARTHAGO; and Netflix’s BAD BOY, a global Top 10 and International Emmy-nominated series. Her work has also received cinematography honors at the Tribeca and Jerusalem Film Festivals.
Her latest series, the cross-country thriller THE ESCAPE, starring Yehuda Levi and produced for Keshet International, is set for release in early 2027.
Fluent in five languages, Daniella has spent much of her career working across countries and cultures. Her cinematography is grounded in close observation, naturalism, and a sensitivity to the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit.
Daniella is based in Brooklyn with her husband and two young children. She is represented by CAA.
