Assignments
Yay, I am currently available for assignments, commitment to explore the social transitions in human evolution — with the goal of increasing our understanding of it. As every project is unique, our collaboration may include research of the topic, protagonist & location scouting, photography or film shot, post-production and so much more. Besides, it is equally important to understand your brand before developing the project. Let’s kick off our dialogue here!
