Dirty Old Secrets
"We worked with real gardeners in their own homes, most of whom had never stood in front of a camera before. That honesty shaped the way we shot the series. Using ARRI Signature Primes gave us a clean, modern look with a softness that suited the subject matter. Wide lenses placed the audience inside their gardens, while tighter focal lengths created intimate portraits. From the start, the aim was to keep as much as possible in-camera, leaning into natural light and subtle texture." - Connor Pritchard, director
