1 The background sets the mood, not the subject 2 It creates depth before anything else 3 It gives me a clear exposure baseline 4 Lighting the subject becomes much easier after 5 Separation happens naturally 6 If the background doesn’t work, the shot doesn’t work #filmmaker #setlife #cinematographer

Addicted to be on set! #cinematography #setlife #filmmaker

Don’t post your work. Post you working. 🫡

1 Pay attention to light wherever you are Light is everywhere, not just on set. The more you notice it, the better you can recreate it 2 Study films and break down how scenes are shot Don’t just watch films, try to understand why they look the way they do 3 Follow visual styles and references Understanding different styles helps you find your own visual language 4 Learn from others through YouTube, books and interviews You can shortcut years of experience by learning from people ahead of you 5 Shoot as much as possible, even without a project You only really improve by doing, not by thinking about it #cinematography #lightinginspo

Me: 1 Camera monitor 2 False color 3 Waveform 4 Edit timeline #cinematographer #editing #screentime

Don’t just post your work, post yourself working 1 Anyone can post a final video 2 Very few show how it’s actually made 3 The process is what builds trust 4 The process is what clients care about 5 Show that #cinematographer #dop #filmmaking

“You just need a camera” 1 That’s what people think 2 But a good image needs more than a camera 3 Light shapes the scene 4 Sound makes it believable 5 Gear supports the workflow 6 And a team brings it all together
