Directing style
Gomes anchors his visual storytelling in a naturalistic, observational perspective, favoring eye-level camera angles and expansive wide, medium, and establishing shots over close-ups. His frames are defined by a high frequency of deep depth of field and daylight exteriors, relying heavily on the sun as a primary light source alongside practicals and windows. The color palette shifts between a stark, high-contrast black-and-white and a muted, earthy color space dominated by mossy greens, dusty ochres, and cool, desaturated slate tones that evoke a lonely, tense atmosphere.
