Some stills from Beyonce’s “Formation” video. I have always found these aesthetics to be striking and something I would like to recreate in my own work, be it via still or moving pictures.

Some aesthetically pleasing stills from Disney’s “A Wrinkle In Time” directed by Ava Duvernay. The color palette for this film truly captured it’s fantasy elements.

Had the pleasure of attending an early screening of the film “The Hate U Give” adapted from a novel of the same name by Angie Thomas. It was moving and cinematically beautiful. I recommend everyone see it.
