About

Rajiv Smith-Mahabir (or Jeeves as he’s commonly known), is a cinematographer/editor who has worked in the narrative, documentary, and commercial worlds after graduating from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts in 2007. He has shot and edited videos for top brand clients such as Nike, Clorox, Hyatt, VEVO, and the San Francisco Board of Tourism, to name a few. Coming from an editing background, he is extremely familiar with the necessary framework of storytelling, and knows exactly where to place the camera in order to capture the action in the best way possible. Most recently he edited the feature documentary “Blindspot: Illusions of Justice” and filmed “Romeo is Bleeding” (an award-winning documentary executive produced by Russel Simmons). He has recently moved back to Los Angeles after living in Colombia for the past 4 years.
