In Frame #1 - Jon Charles

Join the Matria Rentals team and special guest Jon Charles for an in depth conversation about cinematography. We dig deep into Jon's emergence in the New York scene as he shares his thoughts from an artistic and pragmatic viewpoint, while also offering his insights and preferences on cinema lenses, and film lighting (source, practical).

We also debate about the current state of analog v digital, the on occasion politics of the industry, and the importance of good business antics with a couple of hot takes. 

The conversation covers Jon's cinematic inspirations, including films like "Moonlight" and "Playtime", leading to discussions on portrait framing, close-ups, and shooting without filtrations.

Some of Jon Charles' credits include some the trendiest music videos today that include "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" (Ice Spice, PinkPantheress ), "Yesterday" (Kenya Vaun), "Molli" (skaiwater), "Fisherrr" (Cash Cobain and Bay Swag),  and "Sexy Red" (ASAP Ferg).

His commercial clients include PUMA, JORDAN, and NIKE.
