Film Production &
Destination Content Services
I'm a Los Angeles 1st AD and travel photographer.
On set, I manage departments, protect the schedule, and keep the day moving so you're not the one putting out fires. I've worked union, and non-union commercial, branded content, and indie productions. My background as a filmmaker means I understand what a director needs before they have to say it.
As a photographer, I've been published in Travel + Leisure, Visit Costa Rica, and Travel Alaska. I shoot for placement, not for feeds. If you're staffing a production or need destination photography that earns its use, let's talk.
Dalin Nelson | Based in Los Angeles
I'm a Production Manager and 1st AD based in Los Angeles, available for narrative films, short-form content, and branded campaigns.
I handle every phase: script breakdown, crew onboarding, day-of logistics, and wrap. The goal is always the same. Stay on schedule, stay on budget, and keep the set off the producer's plate. Past work includes multi-vehicle commercial shoots, tight-turnaround branded content, and narrative short films shot across multiple locations.
Union and non-union. Local hires available throughout Los Angeles. Nationwide travel for the right project.
I travel to your location, embed with your team, and produce a content library that shows your destination at its best. Photos, short-form video, and written editorial built for modern platforms and actual conversions.
The process is straightforward. We identify the gaps in your existing library, I shoot what's missing, and you get organized, licensed assets ready to use across social, web, and print.
