I am a US-based cinematographer with two decades experience, including work directing and producing. My work spans scripted and non-scripted, working comfortably in studios and extreme environments, with teams small and large. This has brought extensive experience collaborating with US and UK productions, creating, and capturing content across the US and more than twenty countries. Subjects range from feature documentary and series, true-crime and recreations, build and process, adventure, cooking, travel, reality, and paranormal.

TEAMWORK and ATTITUDE

I’ve had the privilege to work with people around the world, from all walks of life. Our differences as humans is what makes us interesting. Capturing their stories with open heart and mind has provided far more than an experience. It shapes who I am and what I bring to set. Professionalism, respect and organization is what I expect and demonstrate by example for my team. I work hard alongside crew to create a safe, efficient and enjoyable work experience.

DIRECTION

I offer experience directing camera and producing talent for a natural feel with quality coverage. I give the story close attention and guidance to unfold it coherently for the viewer. I've had the opportunity to produce and direct multiple follow documentary series. This came naturally for me after having more than 18 years working closely with directors and producers, learning from some of the best in the industry.

CAMERA TECHNIQUE

Combining technical knowledge with composition, I work to exceed expectations and to match the look, feel and pace of the subject. No project is the same and creating new and original looks is among the best aspects of the job. My upbringing in this industry taught me to tell a story through the lens naturally, on the move without disruption.

CAMERA & SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT

Alongside a complete production camera and audio kit, my time lapse photography and specialty gear provide beautiful transitions both in nature and building sequences. My techniques for hero and beauty shots bring them close to the audience making them feel larger than life. I own a selection of camera and specialty equipment curated over years to provide a unique style and high-quality look.

LIGHTING

SKILLS and ATTRIBUTES

My lighting experience ranges broadly from studio sets to exterior environments and vehicles. I provide quality lighting from bold and stylized to subtle and natural. I have also worked extensively with available light keeping a small footprint while maintaining quality picture.
