Now that Nava has become a more successful director and is behind artist's videos such as: Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Calvin Harris etc. We get to see some of his signature styles as a director. However, unlike some directors Nava doesn't have a clear style on how the videos are presented for example: vibrant colours, black and white or a common theme throughout his videos. However, we do see the type of camera angles he likes to use, Nava seems to like to use a lot of widescreen and close ups of the artist and any other actors featured in the video.
Emil Nava also directed one of Calvin Harris' music videos called How Deep Is Your Love. Throughout the video it is prominent who the star of the video is, Gigi Hadid stars as a girl going through a trippy journey. The camera angles tend to focus clearly on Hadid as Nava tries to showcase her beauty. This can also be seen as Nava taking the Male Gaze approach, as the camera focuses on the model's sex appeal.
