Learned a lot the first time around. Publishing is a tough game, but I told myself the stories mattered more - they always will. Thank you for the constant support 🙏🏼
ALVARO is about the places we come from - how they shape us, and how we shape them in return. And now it's yours...

Currently re-reading 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and can't get over how much of a character the Nautilus actually feels like. Like yea Nemo is cool and all, but the Nautilus just feels so developed and lived in...

THE BRUTALIST is one of the few films I've seen that tackles this relationship between place, space and meaning so well. It's cinematography is both "empty" and imbued with meaning, soul. Always breathtaking to watch. The scene in Italy is a real highlight #filmsky

While everyone is reeling from THAT death scene in LAST OF US, I'm stunned by how well the show has managed to capture the sheer breathtaking sublimity of nature. It's as punishing and cruel as the world it takes place in, and they've nailed that feeling perfectly from the game

After BENTLEY, I really started to find my voice in film. I was doing my masters at the time and the concept of landscape and film immediately stood out. DALHOUSIE came as a result of tying story and place. I tried to capture the essence of Port Dalhousie. Let me know what you think!

I love horror and sci-fi, but the idea of using VFX seemed so daunting to me at the time. But I had access to a green screen, and nicer lenses, and a talented actor, so I thought, why not? So I came up with BENTLEY. This is also the first time I tried photographing Niagara Falls

ORIGAMI is an exercise in editing. I went in with no script, no actors, and an idea - what if a man was able to speak with his conscience, and, after messing up that first interaction, went to great lengths for that opportunity again? Shot choice was key here, and tempo.

THE FORK is still one of my favourite accomplishments. It forced me to utilize the camera in ways I hadn't before. I cast a fork as the MC, used camera tricks to tell a story about a utensil finding its place in the world, and puts a smile on my face thinking about the process.
