My creative direction starts with set photography and lighting as a way to build mood and meaning. A big part of my process is taking an idea from my head—sometimes just a feeling, a color, or a single image—and manifesting it in real life through set design, props, and deliberate lighting choices. I’m drawn to cinematic, tactile scenes with strong shape, intentional shadows, and a clear point of focus. On set, I move quickly from concept to execution, refining through small shifts in light, blocking, and composition until the frame feels dramatic enough.
