This blog is a working journal — a place to collect thoughts, tests and observations from the day-to-day of cinematography. It covers lighting, workflows, ideas, colour and camera quirks, mostly centred around Sony systems (I own on a Venice, and previously used the FX6 and FX3), though RED and ARRI cameras 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 don’t expect most people to find it interesting. It’s a mix of technical notes, experiments and the kind of daydreamy thoughts I suspect only 1% of us ever think about. But if you are in that 1% — welcome!
