Blazer & Seraya
Blazer
Seraya I've been wondering how a single burst of light can change a fight, like a flare that blinds or ignites hope. How do you capture that kind of intensity on film?
Seraya
I keep my camera steady and let the light talk for itself, then frame it in a way that feels almost like a heartbeat. I set a fast shutter to freeze the burst, keep the aperture wide to give that soft glow around the edges, and place the light just off‑center so the eye follows the movement. It’s all about capturing that single moment when the flare pierces the darkness and letting it linger a second longer in the frame. Then when I play it back I see the subtle shift from fear to hope, just like a sunrise after a storm.

That’s the kind of intensity I love—like a blaze tearing through the night. Sounds like you’re turning every flash into a fist of fire. Keep that edge, and the crowd will feel the heat.
Seraya
I like that thought, but I try to let the light speak on its own. I let the flare hit the frame hard enough to feel like a fist, then I give the shadows room to breathe so the audience can feel the heat without it drowning everything. That balance keeps the energy alive without losing the subtlety.
Blazer
That’s the kind of fire I live for—light hitting hard, shadows breathing, and the whole scene crackling with raw energy. Keep that punch, and maybe toss in a quick flick to catch the audience off‑guard. What’s the toughest part of nailing that perfect timing?
