I’m based in New York, but most likely in the window seat of an airplane right now.

After graduating with an Associates degree in Filmmaking and Cinematography, I spent several years creating feature films, short films, documentaries, music videos and commercials in Los Angeles, CA, and different parts of the world. Over time, I became very fascinated with lighting and camera operating. I spent years as a Gaffer (Chief Lighting Tech) and now I’m ready to pursue my vision as a cinematographer.

Highly Experienced Camera Operator.

I love being hands on with Camera’s & operating them. I enjoy bringing the camera to life through movement and enabling better story telling through camera motions and positioning. I have experience in building and operating gimbals as well, and enjoy assisting Cinematographers as a Camera-Op.

 

Very Knowledgeable In Lighting.

I’ve spent years of my career learning lighting from hundreds of different Cinematographers. I am very passionate about lighting; I view the frame as my canvas and my lights are my paint brushes. I have worked as a Gaffer for many years to master my passion as a Cinematographer.

 

Communication

Communicating and brainstorming with a team of people is crucial to success, and to achieve the creative vision for every production. I have experience in overseeing Lighting and Camera Departments, and giving directions for planning and preparing for all on site locations and studio shoots.
