Beauty

Every now and then in one’s cinematic career, there comes moments where time stands still. These moments possess an element of sheer and blatant beauty. OK, without sounding too romantic, one such moment took place at a shoot for a documentary that I am currently creating.

Over the last few weeks, I have been undertaking a few projects, but none has seen such  creative  investment than  this one.

This particular project is a  short documentary on a horse expert and trainer Ildiko (Ildi) Varga living in a  small country town in the alps of north eastern Victoria, Australia.

After filming concluded, I had  in my hard drives what I consider to be some of the most beautiful moving images  I have ever captured.

On this occasion, we determined that we should be filming around the 5:30 – 6:00 AM time frame to utilize the atmosphere of the morning fog. All images here are from video on which  a color grade was added.
