Life through My Lens...
I have always been captivated by the arts. From a young age, I fondly remember watching all sorts of shows and films with my family. As I grew up, I found that having an artistic outlet was the perfect way to express my thoughts, creativity, and imagination. I thrive on collaboration and making a vision come to life. I love filmmaking and haven't looked back since committing myself to a career as a professional Cinematographer.
I have 15 years experience within the film industry. I have always operated cameras, but I spent a lot of my time in the grip and electric departments. I used my time in those departments to hone my skills as a cinematographer. My experience with lighting and grip has made me very valuable to the production and I can quickly evaluate what equipment will be needed and how long it will take to light and get a shot.
I am currently a member of IATSE Local #600 as a Director of Photography and a member of OMPA.
