About me

I have been doing camera work for the last 17 years. I have a background in dance and music which I tap into on set and in the editing room. As a dancer connects to the music, I like to feel and connect to the subject of what I am filming to capture the true essence beyond what is just seen by the eyes.

I learned most aspects of video production and have been focusing all my efforts on cinematography for the last 5 years. I have been involved in a lot of documentary style promotional / marketing / branding videos, performing arts videos, fashion films, a few music videos and narrative films.

I like collaborating with people who are dedicated to their craft, quality of the content they create and value meaningful content that hopefully makes this world a better place.
