Commercial Photography
My technical development in Unreal Engine is driven by a practical mastery of physical lighting, cinematic composition, and color grading.
From directing high-end hospitality shoots for OCHO to capturing commercial assets for JCB and max richter; I understand how light interacts with physical materials, how to compose for premium brand guidelines, and how to translate that physical reality into photorealistic, real-time engine environments.
