What's up! I'm a cinematographer and gaffer based in Brooklyn, NY. 
A few things I've been up to: in 2022, I shot a short promo for Sony Music Entertainment featuring producer Steve Jordan as part of their 360 Reality Audio launch. In the fall, I gaffed Please Make Sense, a feature film that takes place almost entirely in a car on the road, shot mostly on an LED volume (see below). 
Back in 2021, I worked with director Antonio Méndez Esparza [2018 John Cassavetes Independent Spirit Award] on three documentaries highlighting Florida's Early Childhood Court System, as DP and editor. 
In 2019, I won a Student Emmy for my short documentary Woman of Steel, which highlights Ashley Young's life as a self-proclaimed human cyborg with a bionic right arm. I love documentary just as much as I love narrative.   
I love taking pictures of my friends when they're not looking. I fucking love my Ricoh GR. 
Outside of film life, I spend most of my down time on languages; I speak French at an intermediate level, and am working hard on my Spanish.
