An extrapolation of stills in a journey of artistic expansion.
Videography
Moving from photography to videography (and eventually film-making) was something I once claimed I would never do; however, after spending hours learning about cinema and the way DPs approach a scene to apply to my photography, I had realized that I could convey much more through moving pictures. The greater level of planning and storytelling required to truly create a great video is a rewarding challenge. Follow my journey into video on here and my YouTube channel (the button in the header) to see my progress and catch stunning cars and incredible cosplays.
Below you will find basic info of my published projects, along with direct links to the videos on YouTube.
I have limited investment into gear for video, most notably my lack of stabilization and lighting equipment. I primarily shoot in natural and ambient lighting in handheld with no assistants.
