Over the last decade, I’ve been lucky enough to work across a wide range of commercial photo and video projects. From high-end fashion shoots and large-scale commercials to tight knit documentaries where chasing the story is the only thing that matters to me. I’ve even had the chance to build a commercial studio equipment room from the ground up. Looking back, it’s honestly wild to see how far a dream, a lot of hard work, and determination can take you.

I’ve spent years on sets in just about every role you can imagine — photographer, director, camera operator, BTS shooter, lighting tech, digital tech, gaffer, grip, assistant photographer, AC, assistant stylist, art department, set builder, and even audio tech. Being around so many talented people in so many different positions has shaped the way I work and the way I collaborate.

These days, the projects I love most are the ones that feel like a true team effort. I enjoy wearing multiple hats if it helps things run smoother, solving problems on the fly, and making the most of everyone’s time and energy. There’s something special about working closely with a small group of people who genuinely care and want to create something beautiful together that we can all be proud of.

I’ve been fortunate to work with some incredibly talented people, and I still think this is one of the most exciting, unpredictable industries out there. If we haven’t worked together yet, or if you just want to connect, I’d love to chat. I’m always happy to meet someone new.
