The cinematographer’s intent, intact from set to screen. The look, held live in front of millions.

I’m Steven Harnell, a DIT working with brands, agencies, and production teams since 2007, from commercial sets to live broadcast. I keep workflows fast, safe, and predictable, so the look leaves set exactly as it was lit. Predictable comes from repetition. Expertise supposedly takes 10,000 hours; I’m at 28,787, counting only signatory days. Which is why I still check the scopes twice.
