Hi, I’m Emil.

I plan my work.

I just don’t over-plan the parts that matter most.

Half Light is where intention and instinct meet — a space for photography that begins with a feeling, not a formula.

Some images come to me in a moment of stillness.

Others are part of something I’ve been chasing for weeks.

But either way, they start the same way:

With a quiet pull that says, “Take the picture.”

I create videos about photography — not to explain how to shoot or edit, but to explore why we do it at all.

I talk through unedited photos.

I go on quiet photo walks, especially around Ottawa.

I sit with strange images and figure out what they’re trying to become.

This isn’t a channel about perfection or storytelling.

It’s about the mood.

The motivation.

The reason you lifted the camera in the first place — even if you didn’t know why.

So yes, I plan.

But the plan is just the frame.

The real work lives in the light that happens in between.

Thanks for being here.
