New York City in motion. š²ššāāļøāā”ļø āFor a run-and-gun shoot of this kind, my go-to setup is always the Sony FX3 paired with the 24-70mm F2.8 G Master II to cover a large variety of shots in a short amount of time without needing to slow down and change setups.
Time is absolutely everything on a shoot like this, and I like my style of filmmaking to be as minimal and efficient as possible when on the move without sacrificing quality.ā - @danjdickman š„š #SonyAlpha #cinematicvideo

Audi ā The Quest
At its heart, this campaign is about more than our choice of motor vehicle, itās about people, places, and the unseen threads that connect us.
The Quest represents the freedom to search, to explore, and to lose yourself in the landscapes and rhythms of life. Itās a celebration of motion, of journeys both inner and outer, and of the moments that quietly shape who we are becoming.
For me, creating this short film has been an incredible privilege. To tell these stories across Spain, weaving together emotion, character, and environment with the Audi Q range as the silent witness, has been both challenging and deeply rewarding.
Iām grateful for the trust placed in me and my team to bring this vision to life, and for the opportunity to collaborate on a project that blends artistry, authenticity, and storytelling at its core.

Campaign frames for @mysamsonite
Earlier this year, we worked with Samsonite capturing a campaign celebrating human connection and a shared appreciation for the outdoors for their new Ecodiver collection.
We leaned entirely into natural light and handheld motion for this one to create imagery that felt immersive and emotionally raw.

In case you needed a reminder.
If Iām honest, how temporary our youth and our lives are scare the shit out of me. We spend most of our time worrying, or letting the unknown scare us into staying still.
So maybe itās less about waiting for the right momentā¦ and more about making the most of the ones weāre already in.
Re-edited this video from my travels back in 2024 as a reminder to myself to stay present, take risks and above allā¦ not take any of this for granted.
