Concept

Twisting is about movement as a way of being. It lives in the in-between, in moments that pass quickly but stay with you. A constant shift between places, cultures, and how you exist within them.

Approach

I followed the music. It wasn’t about building scenes. It was about catching moments. Letting things happen and being present enough to recognize them.

I paid attention to how people move, how they exist in space, how energy changes from one place to another. There’s a push and pull throughout. Fast and slow. Chaos and stillness.

I wanted it to feel natural. Unforced. Like you’re just there with him.

Execution

Shot across Lisbon and Marrakesh, Twisting was built through real environments and real moments. The camera stays close. Always moving, always responding. Nothing overly controlled. Just reacting to what’s in front of it.

Natural light did most of the work. Letting the texture, the color, the heat of each place come through as it is.
