I’ll be real, I shoot a few commercials every month but I don’t post most of them. In the commercial world, it’s easy to feel like more of a technician than an artist. Between shrinking budgets, impossible deadlines, and brands that want to play it safe, the “vision” usually gets diluted before it ever hits the screen. You end up compromising on the vision or the prep, and the final result just doesn’t feel like yours.
But every now and then, you hit a project that reminds you why you picked up a camera in the first place.
This one was special. No fighting for more time, no “just make it brighter or less contrasty” notes, just total trust from the brand and the director.
They gave me the space to actually be a cinematographer. We had just the right budget to get the bare minimum equipment I needed, enough days to actually prep, and most importantly, the time on set to sit with the light and tweak the details until they were perfect.
For the first time in a long time, the monitor actually looked like the image I had in my head.
I’m usually my own harshest critic, but I’m genuinely proud of this one. It’s rare to get to create exactly what you want to make, and I’m just happy the things finally aligned on this one.
Looking forward to working on more such projects.
