Rising Star cinematographer James Rhodes shares that the best advice is to follow what’s on the page — letting the script itself guide your decisions.
Rooted in both music and visual storytelling, Rhodes began by shooting live performances before moving into narrative work. His breakout came with Femme, which won Best British Short at the BIFAs and later expanded into a feature. His credits now span Emmy-winning concert films like Adele: One Night Only and Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium, as well as series such as Heartstopper and features including California Schemin’.

Read more about his journey in American Cinematographer’s 2025 Rising Stars of Cinematography feature.

“Femme is a revenge thriller which follows a drag performer called Jules who is victim to a homophobic assault, but while seeking their revenge finds a hidden side to the attacker Preston. Set against a nocturnal and vivid East London, the palette draws on the bold use of colour by the Safdie brothers on Good Time.”

#Cinematographer James Rhodes takes us #behindthescenes and behind the lenses of the #bestcinematography nominated #Femme

“When selecting lenses for this project I wanted to use various lens characteristics to cue the audience’s perceptions of the situation the characters find themselves in. We shot on Sony Venice with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio throughout, which provided first and foremost a 4K master from S35 capture.

I wanted to combine Panavision vintage anamorphic with vintage spherical to help translate the atmospheric shifts between ‘control’ and ‘chaos’ or ‘safe’ and ‘vulnerable’. In prep, I found the anamorphic Super High Speed 50mm to be an optically beautiful lens, which perfectly lent itself to represent Jules in their most confident, fabulous, and safe state. The antitheses of this were the spherical PVintage lenses, which I’ve worked with many times and are beautiful in their own right, but in the context of the Super High Speed anamorphic, they are crisp and precise. The spherical lensing cues us, the audience, as we find ourselves in a vulnerable situation where danger could arise at any moment. As the characters grow closer and Preston becomes somewhat of a co-protagonist, I applied the same ‘safe and confident’ lens logic to both characters, but this time through a merging of aesthetics representing Jules and Preston changing for each other. This came in the shape of a spherical 40mm Panavision Ultra Speed shot at 6K FF.”

“I carry a lot of my experience playing a musical instrument in a band into my handheld operating: So much of what the camera ends up doing is down to some sort of subconscious flow state of performing together. That kind of authenticity of having a camera mimic the behaviour of the cast is what I’m always striving for.”

Cinematographer James Rhodes on drawing on his musical experiences in his camera operating.
