James Alton
Commercial visuals with a clear director/DP point of view.

The work
Commercial work that still has a point of view.
The strongest commercial pieces here are built around tone, place, people and a visual system.
Brands
Image before volume.
The work is best suited to projects where a few precise images matter more than commodity content output.

A good fit is usually clear once the brief shows what the image has to accomplish.
Brief
Define the use.
Where will the piece live, what has to be communicated, and which frames need to carry the brand?
Look
Build the visual direction.
Shape light, movement, location and references around the audience and the project's practical limits.
Crew
Scale when it helps.
Keep the footprint lean when possible and add KFS support when production weight actually improves the work.
