About me

I'm a DP and turn the ordinary video into an epic movie short using techniques from the movie industry. I have a team that I work with to achieve these high quality results. We can shoot fast, "run and gun" style or create a movie set, on location or in a production facility, for best results. Go beyond the ordinary video with a Photographic elements' professional cinematic short film.

I am interested in your cinematography/ Director of Photography position. I have been a photographer for many years and have used that experience to perfect my cinematography skills. My video production experience includes indie shorts, featurettes, one-offs, pilots, youtube videos, and music videos. I have been trained on RED Camera (Epic/ Dragon/ Scarlet), Sony F55, Sony FS7 and many others, and can operate any camera. I have been camera operator and !st AC on many projects and am familiar with wireless set-up & operation of follow focus technology. I can operate steadicams,dollies and drones for that cinematic look. Below is a list of recent DP / Cinematography credits and current camera equipment. I am located on the West Side of Los Angeles and can easily commute to the greater Los Angeles area or travel as needed. I am enthusiastic and will be a great addition to your team.
