Jonatan Catalan Navarrete Creates Distinctive Mood With Lighting

Having had spent time with some talented photographers, I have learned that it takes more than a camera to take a photo, just take a look at Jonatan Catalan Navarrete’s ‘Dr Maxwell’ portfolio to understand what I mean.

Although Jonatan Catalan Navarrete’s ‘Dr Maxwell’ is an animation, as it is for photographers, lighting is extremely important to make a scene or shot. Working as the lighting supervisor on set, Navarrete was able to create a very distinct mood in this short animation.
