Narrative  
"I really enjoy the creative aspect of shooting narrative films. In every type of production we take words froma a page and give them life. With narrative it's especially satisfying to take that script and make it real. I love lighting a scene, that's where I get most of my satisfaction in shooting. Sometimes that means not lighting at all, or just adding a bit to what's already there. You have to be disciplined and augment the story, not distract from it. I think that's the challenge I like most."
