Isaac Bauman | filmmaker / photographer - filmmaker / photographer

So with these last two pictures, I’ve officially edited every one of my edit-worthy photos from the last four years. From this point forward, if I want to have new photos to edit, I’ll have to take new ones.

Here’s to an epic year ahead.

Both shots taken in the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona, Spain.

Taken at the bottom of the spiral staircase in the Vatican museum.

No idea if this actually a statue of Aquarius, but it feels so fluid and aquatic. Thoughts, anyone? Taken in Rome, Italy.

Aesthetically the film is somewhat problematic – it was shot in one day, with a looming deadline and no budget.

But fuck excuses, I’m happy with the way it turned out and I learned a TON about casting, working with actors, production design, and shooting in a confined space.

It also marks the first collaboration between myself and Minou, my new film partner. We’ve got a lot of really exciting projects coming up, so as always, stay tuned.

From a cathedral in Mazatlan, Mexico:

There’s something about this image – it’s so flexible in terms of processing. Every now and then I like to play around and come up with something new. This is my latest stab at developing it, and eventually there may be others. Stay tuned.

From a trip to Prague.

An oldie – from 2004, my junior year in high school. It’s a little slow and a little artsy – but it is epic, and it represents a pivotal point in my development as a filmmaker. I figured i’d post it because it’s going in the film portfolio section of this site, but I wanted a specific URL to link to it. Also, I wanted y’all to see it if you haven’t already : )

The production was long – I shot up in the hills 9 times over the course of about two months. And that was after I’d already shot the entire project twice – the first two versions were filmed with different female actors, and edited – but they weren’t quite right.

I’ve never had a vision so strong that I felt compelled to throw out weeks of work and start multiple times. But I’m glad I did. I shot this sucker five years ago, and although I’ve come a long way technically and artistically, I’m still proud of it.

Florence, Italy. Yeah, it’s pretty big but I wanted y’all to peep the details. If you want the whole thing in one eye-full check it out on my flickr.
