An elegant dual-monitor setup displays a still frame from an independent short film on one screen and a layered audio waveform on the other, both tinted with subtle interface blues. The monitors sit on a minimalist black desk beside a compact MIDI keyboard and a pair of studio headphones gently resting on a film clapperboard. Evening city light from a Macau high-rise window creates a cool ambient glow, while a single warm desk lamp pools light onto a notebook filled with hand-drawn storyboards. Shot from a slightly elevated angle in photographic realism, the image feels focused, reflective, and professional, capturing the creative digital media process without showing any people.

A glossy black electric guitar leans against a modest amplifier on a tiled Macau rooftop, its chrome hardware and wound strings catching the last golden-hour light. Beside it, an open laptop displays a digital audio workstation with visible tracks, while a small action camera on a mini tripod aims toward the horizon. In the distance, Macau’s skyline and a bridge fade into a pleasantly blurred background. The scene is photographed at a low angle, emphasizing the guitar’s sculpted body and the textured rooftop. Warm, cinematic lighting and shallow depth of field create a contemplative, sophisticated mood tied to music and multimedia experimentation.
A pair of carefully folded black martial arts uniforms rests on a tatami-style mat in a quiet studio corner, alongside a small action camera, a compact mirrorless camera, and a tablet showing paused footage of a training session. The walls feature framed long-exposure photographs of Macau streets and nighttime alleys, softly out of focus. Diffused overhead lighting and a sliver of late-afternoon daylight from a side window create gentle, even illumination with subtle shadows that add depth. Shot from an overhead, slightly diagonal perspective in photographic realism, the composition feels disciplined and introspective, emphasizing the convergence of physical practice and digital media documentation without any human presence.
A compact home studio corner shows a well-used digital audio interface, balanced studio monitors, and a large-screen display running a film timeline with color grading scopes visible on the side. On the desk lies a handwritten shot list next to a portable field recorder and a small stack of labeled SD cards. Warm, directional light from an adjustable desk lamp carves out a cozy pool of illumination, while the rest of the room falls into a soft, sophisticated darkness. Captured at eye level in photographic realism with a mild vignette, the composition feels intimate and focused, representing behind-the-scenes digital media production work for freelance projects.
