Directing style

Shepard builds tension and isolation by trapping characters in tight, shallow-focus medium shots and closeups, keeping the camera locked at a direct, eye-level perspective. His interior-heavy, night-dominated scenes are lit primarily through a mix of practical fixtures, window light, and neon, casting characters in a high-contrast environment. The visual palette leans on a blend of cool, desaturated tones alongside warm, earthy hues, using shallow depth of field to isolate subjects from their backgrounds.
