Cinematographer / Stage 32 Thought Leader

Hello world. I have been telling stories for over 15 years. We are all connected here because of this passion. It's wonderful.

I shot a film in South Korea earlier this year. Fantastic experience. I will host an AMA soon to share more about it.

There's also a webinar on cinematography in the works so stay tuned.

Maurice Vaughan

Hey, Gareth Taylor. Hope you're doing great. Can't wait for your AMA!
