BTS

I learned a lot about film making by taking photos on sets. I’d offer production BTS just so I could be close to the action and no one would mind. I’d stay out of everyone's way and watch how everyone moved without the stress. Looking through my own lens to try and see how I’d use the space. Watching the actors, the crew, it gave me a chance to really learn how others work out challenges and execute solutions. It’s a great way to plant yourself on set and learn.
