Thank you for taking the time to view my work!
My name is Madison Stonefield, and I am a Cinematographer, Assistant Camerawoman, and Photographer based in Los Angeles, CA.
I graduated in 2018 with a BA in Film and TV Production from USC SCA. I transferred there from Santa Monica City College, where I started learning formal production skills in 2013. I entered SMC’s production program with the intent on becoming an editor, but fell in love with cinematography pretty quickly and wanted to focus on it ever since.
As I moved through schooling, I was deeply interested in social sciences; studying human history, culture, and connection instilled a drive for authenticity in media and storytelling. With my parents being first and second generation immigrants growing up in LA, I was raised by a diverse family in a diverse city, learning & re-learning the value of community every day. This upbringing helped shape me into a filmmaker seeking honesty and empathy in storytelling, while also hoping to convey the beauty of having faith in humanity.
