January 2023

This month is a bit different from the previous ones as I find myself in more of preparation and exploration phase. First time experience with the video camera opened a pandora’s box of questions, ideas and learnings. It has been interesting to see the often disappointing difference between the vision I had when filming and the end result. It feels like when I first started shooting film, a long and slow learning process based essentially on trial and error. Now that I’m invested it’s going to be fun to dive into filming techniques and more importantly the new world of possibilities that comes with the ability to add motion to my work. It’s been a great way to rediscover one of my first passions, cinema. I now have a newfound interest and things to look for when watching films.

On March 6th, I’ll be travelling to Hong Kong and Thailand. This is creatively exciting as I never got to properly shoot in Hong Kong while living there and the same can be said about the two previous times I visited Thailand. I plan on taking many pictures and videos which will bring more questions on how to present them in a visually appealing way, but that’s the fun part! This month I’ll focus on doing a bit of planning, mostly choosing which type of film I’ll shoot and making sure I have everything I need to make this trip a visual success. 

Below you’ll find some shots from December that I received this month :)
