about me

I am a versatile cinematographer who loves creating beautiful and cinematic frames. With a background in lighting, I love the challenge of shaping light to bright shots to life. I have worked on hundreds of projects within a wide range of genres, styles, and budgets. I pride myself in being adaptable, hard working and self sufficient. Regardless of the size and scale, I treat each project with the same drive, dedication and work ethic.

Documentary

I love working with real people to tell a story through interviews. The dialogue serves as the backbone of each doc, so I strive to make it visually compelling in a way that commands the attention of those watching. I love taking a space and playing with depth, natural lighting, and my arsenal of equipment to make something special.

Commercial

When it comes to branded content, I have worked with a wide spectrum of companies to create content. I have shot TV spots, social ads, brand docs, testimonials and more. Each project is different, so I’m always up for the challenge of finding the right lighting and composition that aligns with the tone and style of the brand.

Narrative

My career began in New York City, training under talented veteran cinematographers. I learned traditional cinematography and lighting, then began to form my own style before returning to the west coast. I have shot dozens of short films and learned how to make the most of a budget.
