Directing style

Nakashima juxtaposes tense, lonely thriller themes with a visual style built on eye-level camera angles, shallow depth of field, and a balance of medium shots, wides, and closeups. He favors cool, desaturated color grades with dark, earthy tones and deep blues, occasionally accented by stark whites and vivid pinks. His scenes are lit primarily by natural sun and window light across a mix of day and night setups, split almost evenly between interior and exterior spaces.
