I have 25+ years of experience in the business. While I’ve seen the transition from film to digital and into more affordable capture devices, the importance of
a good eye and and craftsmanship hasn’t changed. The importance of being both a problem solving pragmatist and an artist is something that I strive to balance on every job.
I’ve worked with and am comfortable shooting with most of the current professional digital cameras including: Arri Alexas, Red Cameras, Sony Venice to FX6 and FX3, Canon C500 to 5DIV, Black Magic Ursa to Pocket 6k, and many more.
I have a strong background in lighting. (I worked as a gaffer for many years.)
I have an art degree, but don't hold that against me.
People like me. (Or pretend to convincingly.)
I own or have access to many of the cameras listed above. Call me for a quote, I like to work.
