Join us in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, for a deep dive into the creative mind of Jaron Presant, veteran DP and one of the cinematographers behind the latest season of Poker Face. Jaron’s visual storytelling pushes boundaries, and in this episode, he unpacks the art of bringing light to story.
From collaborating with Natasha Lyonne to crafting scenes that stick with you, Jaron reveals how cinematography is more than just visuals—it’s about setting a tone, influencing perception, and creating meaning. Jaron and Lou get into the cultural weight of color (why red means something entirely different in the U.S. vs. Asia), the role of lighting in filmmaking, and the early steps in Jaron's creative process—starting with an image discussion deck that guides the entire project.
We also explore Ikigai, the Japanese philosophy that connects passion, skill, and purpose. And when it comes to career advice, Jaron keeps it simple: "Just do you."
Check out Jaron’s work, and stay tuned for more of Chaos & Creativity on Instagram and BlueSky. And remember—always act a little cooler than you feel!
