But, as tangible a skill as camera work can be, what have you studied that has informed your "eye for beau...

This is the current reel for my videography company, Moonbull Media. It's a bit outdated at this point but you can get a feel for my style and where my skill level is with shooting & editing.

Expand commentThank you Karen, this is a surprisingly good primer on some aspects of framing. Pay attention to the stated content even if the images do not exacty illustrate the concepts being presented. There are a couple of very questionable things in there but a few “fillum-skool” professors seem to think they apply. If they don’t jump out at you don’t lose any sleep over them. The “performance art” presentation can be forgiven because of the content.
Very worth watching.
There are many things about beauty, composition is only one. We are surrounded by scads of reference material for beauty, so the best approach is to learn from your own reaction. Ask yourself “why” you like something, which details and components work together to make an images attractive, be analytical. Do the opposite of “I don’t know what is good but I know what I like”. That is a statement that you cannot make should you wish to create images, This same level of image analysis must be strictly applied to your own work for you to maintain quality and grow.
Hey, Andrew Sobkovich ! So glad you enjoyed it!

In response to, "Do the opposite of “I don’t know what is good but I know what I like”. That is a statement that you cannot make should you wish to create images, This same level of image analysis must be strictly applied to your own work for you to maintain quality and grow." TOTALLY! I'm a hyperanalytic person, which became apparent both in my film theory classes taking them, and finally in teaching IB Film, but it's another thing entirely to employ it as the creator yourself. One must keep it in check when creating and then unleash it when reflecting. A fine balance! Thanks for the response!
I'd love for you to start a conversation about your own creative journey - will you start a post in the Cinematography Lounge? https://www.stage32.com/lounge/cinematography

When teaching cinematography, the most important thing I try to get across is trying to get people to see. First to see what is there then to see what could be there. Once accomplished in both, good images become quite obvious.
