Shelley Lauman, Director, Sydney

About

This narrative video directed by Shelley Lauman in Sydney contrasts two women in different urban settings. A woman wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and beanie sits on an outdoor bench, expressing emotion while speaking to the camera. Intercut footage shows a woman in business casual attire walking outdoors near stone stairs and large planters. Later sequences transition to dimly lit indoor domestic living spaces and nighttime city street backgrounds. The video employs a cinematic approach with natural and low-key lighting to build emotional resonance.
