Vertical Dramas
Vertical Dramas — Director of Photography Work
Vertical dramas are an exciting evolution in digital storytelling—short-form scripted series designed specifically for mobile viewing in a 9:16 aspect ratio. Platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels have fueled explosive demand for this format, which demands a rethinking of composition, lighting, and visual language to suit the vertical frame.
As a Director of Photography, I’ve worked on several high-concept vertical dramas, helping define the look of this emerging medium with cinematic lighting and deliberate framing choices. Each project offered a new challenge: how to bring visual storytelling to life within the limits—and creative possibilities—of the vertical canvas..
