Behind-the-scenes footage captures the reality of filmmaking — lighting setups, camera movement, rehearsals, and problem-solving in real time. Vancouver’s fast-paced production environment demands flexibility, technical knowledge, and strong communication.

As a professional cinematographer in Vancouver, I prioritize:

  • Clean, intentional lighting setups

  • Camera movement that serves the story

  • Clear direction and teamwork on set

  • Adaptability to changing locations, weather, and schedules

These behind-the-scenes moments reflect the craft and collaboration required to create polished, cinematic visuals.
