That's why I like fast film. It gives you more freedom to light more naturally.
The closer the source of light is to a subject, the broader the beams are.
But at heart, I am more than a cinematographer.
Every once in a while, when the audience is expecting to see one thing, you have to show them something else.
You have to understand the nature of light.
There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.
