Planning

Successful visual work begins with understanding the physical world. I study how light travels through a space, how surfaces respond, and how environments translate into digital form. Through HDRI capture for image-based lighting and high-fidelity environment scanning, I build the technical foundation required for photoreal imagery. Careful planning eliminates guesswork and allows creative decisions to be made with intention.

Production

I work comfortably between practical capture and digital execution, collecting the data that complex shots depend on — lighting, geometry, texture, and spatial reference. My approach is deliberate and efficient, shaped by an awareness of what will matter later in post. When projects require original footage, I shoot with a disciplined eye for composition and natural light, ensuring every element supports the final image.

Post-Production

My focus in post is cohesion — images where nothing feels introduced or artificial. Drawing on a deep understanding of lighting and spatial relationships, I construct work that integrates seamlessly and holds up under close inspection. Technique is never the focal point; it exists to support the frame and the story it carries.
