Feeling very inspired by this 2009 short film, NOCTURNE co-directed by Vincent Laforet, Stu Maschwitz, and David Nelson. They shot this on a the Canon 1D Mark IV near East 6th and Mateo St. in Los Angeles using ONLY AVAILABLE LIGHT! I had seen this great looking short film a few years ago, but came across it again recently on this blog by Ben Rock, a Los Angeles film and theater director. Most would-be content creators have or know someone willing to provide a DSLR camera and someone who can operate it. Big "official" shoots (with an actual budget) for personal projects seem harder to come by since film school. Not everyone has a friend with a Grip truck sitting around, waiting to shoot some low budget cinema. There is nothing I love more than shooting both stills and moving images at night in the urban environment. This post features an assortment of images I had posted to my Instagram Account which bring me back to this low light, available light, urban aesthetic. Shooting with available light has helped me create work that is a bit urban and just a tiny bit gritty and this has been a delightful aesthetic to explore. Soon, I will reveal the first test scenes I shot with Tatiana and Troy in Downtown Phoenix! This garage parking lot captivated me. A little guerrilla scene is just begging to be shot down there... This isn't really a low light shot, but it IS a city bus. Everybody knows there is nothing more urban than public transportation. This was shot on my Iphone using the Panascout app.

Lorenzo Cuevas:The Photo/Video life provides limitless subjects to contemplate. My existence is defined by the Pursuit/Exploration of Art, Technology, and The Human Condition. I intend to do some of that here, post new and old work and hopefully interact with others through the black hole that is the internet.
