BY LANA NAUPHAL

This live session for Lana Nauphal’s song “Something in the Rain” was shot and released in April 2023. Samuel Mitchell, the project’s Director of Photography, collaborated with Lana Nauphal on a refined visual concept that would lend itself to highlighting Nauphal’s songwriting and performance. They worked on capturing long takes of the performance to maintain an immersive experience — keeping the audience present in the room with the artist. Muhil Vaseekaran, the project’s Assistant Camera and Gaffer, helped create a large, simple, and soft lighting environment that worked to emphasize the natural light of the space. The video has amassed over 6k views on YouTube.
