Directing style
Hamilton structures his action-thrillers around eye-level medium shots and wide compositions, maintaining a grounded physical perspective that balances characters with their environments. He relies heavily on practical lighting and direct sunlight to illuminate both day and night setups, dividing his scenes almost equally between interiors and exteriors. His visual palette leans into muted, earthy tones, utilizing olive drabs, dusty ochres, and cool slate grays that are rendered with a nearly even split between shallow and deep focus.
