“When I decided to become a cinematographer a few years ago, I messaged a DOP I had heard of in LA. I asked him for his advice for what I needed to do to shoot films one day. He told me to pick up a camera and become a photographer first….to train my eyes through still images and only then could I learn to add movement to them. I took his advice to heart and started to wander every place I could find any beauty in. These are some of my favourite shots from that time, when I asked every moment and every friend to stay still.”
