THEN VS NOW

First picture is me after a music video shoot that my brother in law got of me in 2018. I usually hate taking pictures but that day I was in a good mood. Shoot went well weather worked out for us and my brother in law came out to help and see what I did.
Second photo was taken this past weekend on a shoot for a Tv Pilot that I was DP for with a team.
Seeing the first pic show up in my feed. Reminded me - how far I’ve actually come since I’ve started. Lately I’ve been hard on myself for not progressing how I want to be. But something about seeing my starting point and where I’m at now makes me feel better about my progression.
I feel sometimes we get so caught up in our everyday and striving to do better and more. that when we come down on ourselves for feeling stuck. We should take the time to remember where we were and where we are now. I think you’ll come to realize you’ve gotten a lot further than you thought !
Crazy to think I started shooting $50 music videos with a Sony A6500 and a couple lenses with my Zhyuin Crane.
Now I have the privilege of working on bigger sets for music videos, narrative films, corporate videos, documentaries … bigger cameras bigger teams bigger projects bigger ambitions!
I can’t wait to look back at this post years from now and see my progression.

Todays setup was nice and easy - 2 light setup. With a lot of shaping to get it how we needed it. Some times it’s not how many lights you have but how you use them and shape them.

Yesterdays setup

Todays light rigging - we didn’t have a boom arm/menace arm for the light so we took 3 c stand arms and connected them with grip heads and with a cardellini attaché draw 600x with a china ball. We then added the skirt to kill an spill on the back and. And then wrapped that china ball in a china silk. This acted as our key light for a 2-person interview
