BIO
My client list ranges from Nike and Adidas to BP and Ford. I have shot both large and small scale projects for them. These projects have taken me to such far flung locales as Azerbaijan, China, Japan, Colombia, Argentina, and El Salvador. More recently, I have been the DP or camera operator on many acclaimed television shows. Those titles include all seasons of Hulu’s “Shrill”, “Portlandia”, “Significant Mother”, “Documentary Now”, and “Baskets”.
I am very scalable in my use of camera platforms. Depending on the projects logistical and budgetary needs I will choose the best camera package to lens the most compelling frames possible. That means one project might require a full studio Arri LF and DNA lens package, while the next might require a Red Komodo and those beautifully small Leitz M.08 lenses. A third might require beta testing a new iPhone camera. Different horses for different courses, after all.
I have an impeccable reputation for leading my camera, grip and lighting crews with clear and creative efficiency. Wait, no crew? No problem! I also am very experienced in being a self-contained, self-sufficient one person unit (thanks to those overseas scrappy shoots). Regardless of the crew size, camera platform, native language, or location, I always succeed in capturing the moments needed to build compelling projects. “
