DARKLESS

Darkless is an art film that serves as a portrait of photographer Oskar Schlechter and a Kickstarter campaign for his photobook Darkless. The book explores the effects of light pollution on animals, nature, and humans. Filmed in 2023, my roles were directing and cinematography.

We used a Sony FX6 for this project, leveraging its exceptional capabilities at ISO 12,800 to effectively capture light pollution. This was especially evident in the studio scene, where the space was predominantly lit by streetlights. This lighting choice was a deliberate stylistic decision to emphasize the omnipresence and impact of light pollution, which lies at the heart of both the film and the photobook.
