Epiphany I
"Beautiful landscapes of the exceptional mundane. Working in an industrial setting, I can appreciate the nonchalance and fluidity of routine work playing out. The proportions of these shots are well thought out, and the lighting is gorgeous and moody. There's something to be said about the perspective of looking at a scene from afar as well; it evokes something, makes me think of the scene in Stroszek where they go out to the frozen pond. It gets me thinking about shots like these in a narrative setting."
Palinopsia
"Absolutely stunning. The textures, the rhythmic pacing, the sense of travel, mixing landscapes with abstract patterns. Like a film reel with hundreds of paintings in motion."
Cherokee (2020)
"I'm honored, thank you!"
