Framing
Leave room for the moment
A frame does not need to explain everything. Sometimes the space beside a subject tells us as much as the subject itself. Watch the edges and leave a little room for a gesture to unfold.
Notes on moving images
A closer look at framing, light and the small decisions that make a scene feel alive.
On location
Find the light before the angle
Spend a moment watching how daylight moves through a space before choosing a camera position. An open doorway or a pale wall can shape a scene without making the lighting feel conspicuous.
Editing
The pause between two shots
Rhythm is not only about cutting quickly. A short pause can give a look, a sound or a change in expression the time it needs. Let the scene decide when the next image should arrive.
