VIDEOS
This page features a few of my video projects. These videos are my cinematography experiments — small adventures with a camera where I explore light, movement, and perspective. They’re not finished films or polished stories, but open-ended tests and discoveries. Each one is a way of asking: what happens if I try this? Sometimes the results surprise me, sometimes they don’t, but that’s the fun of experimenting. A number of these are legacy videos, created in the nineties and early two thousands, using SD cameras.
Timelapse
This experiment is built entirely around time-lapse. By speeding up reality, the camera uncovers patterns that normally slip past our eyes — the drift of clouds, the shifting of light, the subtle movements of the world as hours collapse into seconds. I wanted to see what happens when the ordinary flow of time is transformed into something more compressed and alive. The result isn’t a story, but a glimpse of hidden rhythms, a different way of watching the world in motion.
Nowhere in Particular
This experiment doesn’t set out for a destination. The camera drifts, following small details and passing moments without a plan.
Sometimes the beauty of cinematography isn’t in chasing a subject, but in letting the frame find its own way. Nowhere in Particular is about wandering — with a lens, with attention, with no clear goal except to see what appears along the path

Gralab timer race
Not every experiment needs to be serious. In this silly video, six darkroom timers line up for a race, their mechanical ticks turn into a kind of absurd performance. It’s a lighthearted study in rhythm, competition, and the quirks of old technology — a reminder that even simple tools can have character when put in motion together.
The View from the Window
This experiment records the world from a single window over several days. The frame doesn’t move, yet the scene constantly changes — shifting light, weather, people passing, subtle signs of life. By holding the view steady, the camera lets the ordinary rhythms of time reveal themselves.

A Winter Day
This experiment observes a snowfall in Toronto, where the familiar city transforms under a delicate, shifting veil of white. The camera lingers on streets, trees, and rooftops as flakes drift, settle, and vanish, revealing patterns of light, shadow, and movement that often go unnoticed. There’s no narrative or destination — only the quiet unfolding of a winter day, a meditation on the subtle beauty that emerges when the world slows and we take the time to watch.

Nepal travelogue
This is a compilation of scenes that I shot in Nepal in 2002 and 2005 with a DV cam, recording onto mini DV tapes. The locations are Kathmandu, the Annapurna mountain range, and the Ilam district of eastern Nepal. This travelogue wanders through Nepal, capturing fragments of landscapes, streets, and daily life. The camera moves with curiosity rather than a fixed plan, recording small details, passing moments, and the rhythms of places both familiar and surprising. There’s no strict narrative — only a visual journey through mountains, towns, and villages, inviting the viewer to experience the textures, light, and life of Nepal as it unfolded during these travels.
The mountain scenes at the beginning are without audio.
Life in Namsaling
This legacy video depicts daily life in Namsaling, Nepal. In this small village, time moves differently. The camera lingers on doorways, footpaths, and the quiet gestures of daily life, letting the rhythms of the place unfold at their own pace. There’s no story to follow, only moments that reveal the texture of living here — the play of sunlight, the sway of trees, the subtle patterns of work and rest. This is a study in presence, an invitation to pause and notice the world in its small, intricate details.
Kathmandu diary
This is a collection of scenes from Kathmandu from a number of visits from the mid nineties to 2002. Kathmandu Diary gathers fragments from several visits to Nepal between the mid-1990s and 2002. Rather than a structured documentary, it’s a collection of impressions — streets and temples, passing encounters, shifting light, and the everyday rhythm of the city. The camera moves like a notebook, recording moments that felt worth remembering without trying to explain or define Kathmandu. Looking back, the footage has become both a record of place and a record of time — a personal diary of wandering through a city that was constantly alive, unpredictable, and endlessly absorbing.
