Directing style
Lommel establishes a tense, lonely atmosphere by staging his crime and horror narratives primarily within nocturnal interiors, favoring shallow depth of field to isolate characters from their backgrounds. He shoots predominantly at eye level, relying on medium shots and closeups that frame subjects intimately while keeping the camera at their direct plane of sight. The lighting is driven heavily by practical fixtures and window sources, casting warm, earthy tones alongside cool, desaturated hues that carve subjects out of deep, shadowed backdrops.
