We welcome onto today's show Bella Gonzales, an accomplished director of photography whose remarkable work spans across several prestigious series.
Bella is known for her exceptional contributions to episodic series such as FX's

Her unique vision and technical prowess have made her a standout talent in the industry, and her recent projects are a testament to her skill and creativity.
On the show, Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir chat with Bella about:
What lenses she uses, camera angles and working with different directors.
She talks about what light means to story and why should pick your battles in prep and on set.

For the new Apple TV+ series, Me, Bella was the sole director of photography for the pilot and all 10 episodes of this series, working closely with director Michael Dowse. Her role allowed her to set the show's visual tone, treating it with the care and precision of a feature film.
For Fargo Bella also previously worked on season 5 of Fargo, where she built on her previous contributions to the series and her work and relationship with showrunner, Noah Hawley. She lensed episodes 3&4 of the new series which is out now on Apple TV+ and stars Juno Temple and Jon Hamm.
