Social & Ads
Short-form built for the feed: a hook in the first second, captions, and cuts timed to hold attention. The Spectra reels here are part of 15M+ views across the app's socials.
Cinematic
Personal films where light, framing and grade lead. The same eye goes into brand and product films.
Events
Event highlight films that capture the energy of the day in a few minutes, cut for social and for your site.
Photography
Event and commercial photography in Montréal, shot and edited in Lightroom.
My approach
- Hook in the first secondThe opening frame and on-screen text decide whether people stay, so I give you 2–3 openings to test.
- Captions and rhythmCuts land on the beat, and captions read clearly with the sound off.
- Built to testHook and length variants, so you can see which version performs.
My approach
- Light firstI plan around the light that's there and shape it, the way Deakins and Fraser do.
- Frame with purposeEach composition tells the viewer where to look.
- Grade for moodThe grade sets the tone and keeps every shot consistent.
My approach
- Capture it as it happensCandid coverage of the people and moments that define the day.
- Plan the key beatsSpeeches, reveals and crowd moments are mapped out before the event, so nothing is missed.
- Ready while it's freshA highlight film you can post while people are still talking about the event.
My approach
- Candid or posedNatural moments or directed portraits, depending on the brief.
- One consistent lookEvery photo is edited in Lightroom to match, and delivered ready to post.
- On site in MontréalEvent and commercial shoots across Montréal.
