I'm deeply inspired by real human stories—especially those rooted in everyday experiences. My style blends natural light, purposeful movement, and emotional framing to immerse viewers in the world of the characters. I’m always looking for that raw, authentic moment that speaks louder than dialogue. Whether handheld or staged, my goal is to make every frame feel intentional and alive.
I see budget constraints as creative challenges rather than limitations. With thoughtful planning, natural lighting, practical locations, and versatile gear, I can achieve cinematic results without high-end equipment. I prioritize storytelling and emotion, using minimal tools in smart ways, like shaping available light or blocking scenes to maximize impact with fewer resources.
I approach every project as a shared vision. I listen carefully to the director’s emotional intent and then bring my visual interpretation to enhance that. I love collaborating early; from storyboarding to location scouting, so the cinematography feels baked into the story, not layered on top. Mutual respect and curiosity are my guiding values on set.
I typically shoot in 1080P/4K and S-Log3 for flexibility. After organizing footage, I do basic exposure and white balance corrections in Adobe Premiere Pro, then focus on color grading to bring out mood and story. I often collaborate with editors, ensuring the visual style we intended on set carries through. For short-form work, I handle both shooting and editing myself to maintain the vision end-to-end.
