I'm just here to catch it.

Chasing real light, not filters.

Photography's been a constant for me for years — waiting for the moment the light does what you hoped it would, then getting out of its way.

By day I work as an engineer, and that shows up in how I edit. For this Grand Canyon set I built my own Python color-grading pipeline instead of running everything through someone else's preset — matching what I actually saw standing there, not a filter's guess at it.
