Originally from Arizona, I got my start in product photography, then transitioned to video editing and eventually being on set. I have worked on projects for companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and various local businesses. I also have experience filming conferences, live music and sporting events.
Lighting
My first job out of college was shooting photos for a jewelry company. Due to the reflective nature of the products, I had to learn how to control the light. This is where my love for lighting began. Lighting is still my favorite aspect of film and photography!
Prep
I have learned through trial and error, that planning and preparation are the greatest components to ensuring a fun and successful shoot!
Experience
I have held many different roles within production including: Photographer, Video Editor, PTZ Cam Operator and even Producer. Understanding all of these roles and how they work has helped to shape me into a well-rounded Gaffer and DP.
Problem Solving
From encountering different problems that arise during production, I have learned how to be very creative. Whether it is budget, someone getting sick or even weather, my experiences have helped me learn how to pivot when challenges arise.
