“The frame is my canvas, the camera is my brush and the lights are my paint, I don’t just shoot, I create.”
I love all aspects of art, from painting to photography. To me filmmaking is the art of creating visual stories, I believe that every frame should be a painting, the sound could go off and the audience would still be too captivated by the imagery on screen to notice. A lot of my influences come from master painters like Caravaggio and Rembrandt, their use of chiaroscuro always intrigued me and I try to use a lot of their lighting techniques in my cinematography.
