Profile
I’m Jayson Robertson, a cinematic content creator based in Sydney, Australia. I started my journey during 2020 lockdowns, creating content for a local gym. What began as a simple way to stay creative quickly turned into something much bigger, and from that point on I committed fully to developing my craft in photography and videography. My work is centred around storytelling, capturing moments in a way that feels immersive, intentional, and real. I’m drawn to movement, symmetry, and atmosphere, often inspired by travel and the energy of everyday life. Whether I’m shooting in busy city streets or quieter environments, I aim to create visuals that transport people and evoke a sense of place. Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with tourism boards, hotels, and lifestyle brands, producing cinematic content that blends authenticity with a strong visual identity. For me, it’s always about finding the story within a scene and bringing it to life in a way that resonates. I’m constantly evolving, exploring new locations, and pushing my creative boundaries, driven by a genuine passion for capturing the world through my lens.
About the Video
This film explores the diversity of Australia’s landscapes through a cinematic lens, moving between the coast, the Southern Highlands, and the Blue Mountains. Each location carries a distinct mood, from open coastal scenes to immersive forests and atmospheric mountain ranges. My aim was to create a cohesive visual journey, using light, movement, and texture to connect each environment. I was drawn to these locations for their natural variation within close proximity. Each offered unique conditions, shifting coastal light, dense forest detail, and the scale of the mountains, allowing me to explore different moods while pushing my creative approach.
Key Points / Highlights
My focus was on creating a strong sense of atmosphere across each landscape, using natural light, motion, and composition to shape the mood. I paid close attention to how each scene flowed into the next, ensuring the film felt cohesive despite the changing environments. The overarching intention was to convey a sense of scale and immersion, allowing the viewer to feel present within each location while experiencing the contrast between them.
How I used the EOS R6 V
I approached this project with a balance of stability and movement, using a combination of tripod, gimbal, and handheld shooting to suit each scene. The tripod allowed for precise, controlled compositions, while the gimbal introduced smooth, cinematic motion, and handheld added a more natural, immersive feel. I shot in Canon Log 2 to maximise dynamic range and flexibility in post, using a mix of 25fps for natural motion and 100fps for slow, detailed sequences.
First Impression of the EOS R6 V
The camera felt very natural in hand, making it easy to stay focused on the creative process. Open gate was a standout feature, allowing me to capture a single frame and adapt it across multiple aspect ratios. The stabilisation performed reliably across different shooting styles, and the overall image quality delivered strong detail and colour. For creators working on similar projects, it’s a versatile tool that adapts well to varied environments while maintaining consistent results.
