Princess of Symmetry stands out as an experimental piece that significantly elevated Lewis Andrews’ portfolio, showcasing his adeptness with handheld Steadicam and gimbal techniques. The innovative use of gimbal work, both on foot and mounted on a Segway, captured attention, and led to an influx of urban music video clients drawn to Lewis’s style.
Originally intended as a behind-the-scenes glimpse into photographer Christian Couzens’ editorial shoot featuring model Charlotte Maslin Knight, the project took a creative turn under Lewis’s direction. Transforming into a dynamic showreel of gimbal manoeuvres highlighting the model, the video unfolds in the gritty urban landscapes of London’s council estates. This juxtaposition of the raw, urban setting with Charlotte’s elegant beauty creates a compelling visual narrative that resonates with viewers.
Princess of Symmetry serves as an editorial art video designed to evoke a specific mood or emotion.
