2025 Showreel.

The 2025 showreel is a two-and-a-half-minute cut of Ishell Vaughan's recent work as a director and cinematographer. It pulls together moments from music videos, commercials and brand films, shot on the ARRI Alexa Mini LF and RED V-Raptor, with much of it framed in anamorphic 2.39:1 for a true cinema look.

Music videos make up a big part of the reel: performance scenes, narrative moments and the kind of bold lighting and camera movement that help an artist stand out on YouTube and social. Alongside them are commercial and brand pieces, including luxury automotive, fashion and lifestyle work, where the goal is to make a product or a brand feel premium in just a few seconds of screen time.

The footage was filmed across the cities Ishell works in most: Newark and the rest of New Jersey, New York City, Miami, Philadelphia and Atlanta. Each location brings a different palette, from night streets lit by storefronts to bright Miami daylight, and the reel shows how one consistent eye for light and framing carries across all of them.

If you're an artist, agency or brand planning a music video, commercial or brand film, the reel is the quickest way to see whether the style fits your project. For full pieces, browse the work page. When you're ready to talk dates and budget, get in touch to book a shoot.
