I picked up the camera somewhere in jr. high and haven’t put it down since. I’ve been told my personal film style is “moody” and, I think I agree. I tend to like a gritty shot over a “pretty” one. I tend to think that negative space and imperfection is also telling us something about the character or story if not more than the actor or product can sometimes.

When I shoot, whether with brands or on narrative projects, it’s important to me that creative perspectives are validated, even if not used. I truly see my work as a collaborative effort rather than myself as the ring leader.

I’m gracefully honest about my feelings toward a piece and I love taking creative risks, and I appreciate when the people I work with can be honest in return. I love people who have creative passion, these relationships have been the most fruitful in my experience.
