Jonathan Walton
I recently hired Michelle as DP for a music video I was directing for the band The Jude. I was specifically looking for someone who would take a leading role in the production, who was fast and not afraid of shooting in the streets, in available light and against time constraints.
I couldn't have made a better choice. Michelle delivered on all those fronts, and produced beautiful images with little fuss. She's also not afraid to speak her mind when something isn't right and needs to be done again. She has a really positive, can-do attitude, and remains calm and amiable on set. I would not hesitate in recommending her, and will definitely be looking to work with her again on future productions.
