About

Behind this project stands Nicholas Bluff—a Danish Director of Photography who has always been captivated by the qualities of organic light. After relocating to São Paulo five years ago, he faced the challenge of adapting to Brazil’s intense sunlight, a sharp contrast to the softer hues of his native Denmark. During a prolonged period of introspection, he found himself captivated by the raw beauty of light filtering through his window—a mesmerizing interplay of colors that photographers and filmmakers yearn for. 

It was the reflection of a nearby building that created this captivating spectacle, prompting a realization that the ambient light surrounding us is very rarely reflected off a white surface, but in constant interplay of various colors. This sparked the question of how to replicate this interplay in a more controlled manner and laid the foundation for the project. 

Delving deeper into the intricacies of light, Nicholas recognized the inherent challenge of accurately illuminating diverse skin tones—a task that traditional lighting solutions often struggle with. Through Bluff Bounce, Nicholas creates possibilities for other image-makers, who are always seeking to infuse their creation with more life and hues.
