DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Cinematic storytelling with purpose, clarity, and edge.

I’m a hands-on Director of Photography who thrives on crafting visuals that elevate the story — not distract from it. From high-end corporate interviews to fast-paced documentary vérité, I create imagery that balances beauty, authenticity, and narrative intent.

Whether I’m working with a full crew or running lean and mean on a small set, you get:

  • Precise lighting that shapes mood and message

  • Cinematic composition with an editorial eye

  • Smooth, intentional camera movement

  • Fast, efficient setups without sacrificing quality

  • Solutions-oriented leadership grounded in experience

Your story deserves visuals that feel bigger than the screen — and that’s exactly what I deliver.

FAA 107 DRONE OPERATION

Aerial cinematography that elevates every frame.

As a certified FAA Part 107 drone pilot, I capture dynamic aerial visuals that bring scale, energy, and perspective to your project. Whether it’s sweeping landscapes, facility flyovers, action sequences, or beauty shots, I fly legally, safely, and creatively.

I bring:

  • High-resolution aerial cinematography

  • Smooth, cinematic movements

  • Complex maneuvers in challenging environments

  • Safety-first operation, insured and compliant

  • Experience flying in complex airspace

If it looks impossible — I’ve probably flown it.

MARKETING AND PRODUCTION COORDINATION

Production support that keeps everything moving — smoothly and strategically.
