Directing style
Tragos anchors her non-fiction work in an empathetic, eye-level perspective, favoring medium shots and wide compositions that place subjects in direct, unvarnished relation to their environments. Her cinematography relies heavily on natural day exteriors and practical, fluorescent-lit interiors, utilizing a shallow depth of field to isolate subjects and evoke a prevailing sense of loneliness. The visual palette is grounded in muted, desaturated tones—ranging from earthy sages and dusty ochres to cool grays and deep, shadowed charcoals—which underscores the quiet tension of her storytelling.
