ABOUT ME
From a young age, I have been intrigued with all types of art. Filmmaking, though, is something that stood out to me in particular, and I have been constantly making films with friends and family ever since I can remember. I am fascinated with capturing beauty, telling stories and evoking emotion through films. Music is another art form I have found a strong connection with. I am always exploring different types of music, the history of music and have begun composing my own music. I am also beginning to connect my music with my films. Similar to my experience with filmmaking, drawing has also been something I have done ever since I remember. Recently, though, I have found a new interest in drawing, and have been experimenting with more abstract ideas than I previously had, much of my ideas inspired by the music I listen to. Photography is something I've always had an interest in but I began to take it much more seriously when I invested in my Diana F+ film camera. With this camera, I have been doing experimental photography, which has given me some great results.
MY WORK
|
EQUIPMENT
The majority of the time, I use my iPhone 6 for filmmaking. I spend more time focussing on getting a story across through film than worrying about how high quality the image is, although, I do plan to upgrade sometime soon. When working in school, I had the opportunity to use a Sony HDR-CX900E, which made the lighting on my films superior to those that I filmed on my iPhone 6.
For photography, I will use my iPhone 6 occasionally but mainly focus on my Diana F+ film camera. With this camera, there are many creative possibilities, such as different types of film, long exposures, taking pinhole camera photos and more.
I compose music with my own voice, my Henry Herbert Toronto piano, my Fender Squier Stratocaster and Godin Kingpin electric guitars and my La Primera and Castilla acoustic guitars.
