GH2 Reel

Very nice.
But not what I would refer to as a reel that showcases "cinematography". It's more of a very nice cameraman/filmmaker reel. The ASC refers to cinematography (and I agree) as a creative and interpretive process that culminates in the authorship of an original work of art rather than the simple recording of a physical event. Your current approach is more the latter, but at the age of 22 you have plenty of time to develop into the former. It involves lighting, movement, optics, framing and other aspects of the medium. Your reel is a great start, in my humble opinion. Your lighting technique, for example, has very good grounding. Good luck as you develop your art, my friend.

Can you give or show a reel where you feel showcases good modern Cinematography, thanks.

Also to the op you have great work there, keep shooting and creating content.

Of course, I'll stay away from the obvious feature guys, but I like

Again, I thought Petrspetia's reel was very nice. I'd hire him for many projects. At this stage, he could comfortably call himself a Cameraman or Director of Photography. Like many of us, I have seen hundreds of reels (probably more). My expectations for cinematographer is more than a good shooter.
