MOOD AND FEELING
Intimate
Brave
Radiant
Human
Unfiltered
Grounded but electric
Think: quiet power, not performance.
LIGHTING
Natural light whenever possible (golden hour, window light)
Low light with soft contrast also works (lamps, streetlights, studios)
Avoid harsh overhead fluorescents
Shadows are welcome - glow doesn’t need to be loud
COLOR PALETTE
Warm neutrals: skin tones, beige, soft brown, cream
Accents of deep red, blush, rust, or muted rainbow tones
Black and white is welcome if it feels intentional and emotional
Avoid overly saturated filters
CAMERA STYLE
Vertical video
Handheld or tripod
Close-ups encouraged: hands, chest, shoulders, feet, breath
Doesn’t need to be polished. Authenticity over perfection
Use this to guide video submissions, your own filming, and overall aesthetic consistency.
