Catch the premiere of his new short "Hdyk," starring Bianca Martin, at Project Projection at Art Lit Lab on September 20.

A variety of photography equipment is set on a desk and shot from above. A laptop is open to Photoshop's main page in the middle of the image. On the right side of the image, the desk holds a Canon 5D Mark III, two Ultimax lenses, a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, two battery chargers and one battery charger adapter, front and rear caps for the lens being used to take the image, a front cover for the camera being used to take the image, a lens hood, and a stack of graded color filters for the various lenses. Beneath the laptop towards the bottom of the desk is a protective slip case for more color-graded lens filters and a microfiber cloth still in its bag. To the left of the laptop are a Maxim MF-IX film camera, two smart multicolor LED floodlights, and Tone Madison's 2022 MAMA Award Trophy. The desk is wooden and the entire image is bathed in a soft brown light. Just off to the right side of the disk, a sliver of a Neewer ring light is shown illuminating the desk and all of the camera equipment.
