I've loved comics since childhood. Here's how this simple fascination informs my references and inspiration.

Even if you don't like comics or haven't looked at them in ages, I encourage you to reconsider your stance on them.

I'd like to discuss how I work with references and what goes into it.

Maybe after this, you'll be able to apply some of it to your own work and start improving your processes for preparing for shoots.

Here I'll explain how the idea for this shoot came about and how it was executed.

I'll share what worked and what I would do differently.

I have a hobby. I disassemble the films I like into frames and study how they are composed, how they are colored, what their set design is, and, in general, I try to understand why and what exactly attracts me.

Today, we're examining the 1988 mystical detective thriller, "The Fallen," starring the wonderful Denzel Washington in the lead role.
