About Me

Hi, My name is Jalen Thompson. I am a 26 years old self taught Photographer and Filmmaker located in Los Angeles. My love and passion for the camera started when I was 14, in high school. I knew I was bound to prosper in this creative field, but it was only a matter of time before I took it seriously.

Scheme Six was a brand name I created in 2018, but wasn’t born and developed until recently as a brand to market my professional work.

I am a photographer of all genres. Although I primarily focus on subjects that bring out powerful imagery and elicit strong emotions. My niche genre is capturing candid images and urban photographs that have a great level of contrast and atmospheric energy.

My expertise also includes cinematography, where I craft narratives through visual storytelling.

I possess a deep understanding of visual language, this includes lighting, framing composition, camera movements, camera angles, and the psychological impact of colors. Each and every piece plays a big role in my work.

 I am a narrative-driven video editor. What does that mean? I mainly focus on the visual language and storytelling; that also includes the pacing, emotion and overall structure of the editing. I stick to a more traditional approach, with a perfectionist mindset.  I am also familiar with a bit of color grading.

Feel free to check out some of the video projects I have edited on my Short Films page here!

I am well equipped to bring any indie film to life, I have 2* years of professional experience, with well over enough projects to know how to craft a masterpiece. I own all of the equipment I use.

I use the Sirui Anamorphic, and Nightwalker lens set in combination with the Fujifilm X-T4 camera. This also includes equipment tools such as Gimbals, Shoulder Rigs, various lighting kits, a few audio equipment and a drone. But, let’s be honest. It’s not about the expensive equipment, but more about the craft and how it is used.

Feel free to reach out to me via the contact page to ask me about any projects you would like me to be a part of.
