What's up! I am based in Brooklyn, NY, and I shoot across narrative, commercial, and documentary spaces.
I most recently shot Frogtown, a feature film that highlights the weird and wonderful residents of a small town in North Florida.
I've worked with Sony Music on a few commercial spots, most recently for the new WX1000-M5, and also for the 360 Reality Audio launch featuring Steve Jordan.
I've also 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.
I've taken both of my camera packages via bush plane to remote areas of Botswana and back, so I'm fully ready for all kinds of travel.
I love taking pictures of my friends when they're not looking.
