What exactly does a cinematographer normally do on a set?

On the sets a cinematographer is in an envious position.

The image of a man peering into a huge, camera, moving up, down and sideways with it are images that conjure up some fantasy or images from a picture book. There is always an air of mystery around a cameraman.

A set is filled with different people and their different opinions.People who believe that a scene could have been enacted in a certain way, a shot taken from a certain angle; multiple belief systems co-exist on a set.

I am always thinking in strange locations. I know the hostility of the snow, I have seen the fury of the rains and have entered a sunset.

Cinematographers usually wait for nature to clear or wax up in a certain way.
