Maintaining a Love for Cinematography

For me, cinema is like a church, a holy place that I'm deeply passionate about. It's a well I reach into when I run out of inspiration. I also find inspiration in working with others and creating a beautiful on-set experience. The key is to focus on making work that feels personal and meaningful, regardless of the budget or project.
