This blog is a working journal — a place to collect thoughts, tests and observations from the day-to-day of cinematography. It covers lighting setups, workflow ideas and camera quirks, mostly centred around Sony systems (I shoot on a Venice, and previously used the FX6 and FX3), though RED and ARRI make the occasional appearance.

It’s mainly written for other professionals — particularly camera assistants, operators, Sony users and aspiring cinematographers — but I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect anyone to find it especially interesting. It’s a mix of technical notes, experiments and the kind of daydreamy thoughts I suspect only 1% of people in this industry ever think about.

But if you are in that 1%, drop me a message — it’s always good to connect with like-minded folks.
