Award-caliber Director of Photography and AI-driven visual storyteller with 12+ years of cinematic experience across feature films, commercials, and branded content. I fuse traditional cinematography—lighting, composition, motion, and color—with advanced generative AI tools to produce premium visuals at unprecedented speed. I lead concept-to-delivery pipelines: shaping treatments, prompting models, editing in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and finishing with broadcast-grade color and motion design. The result is content that looks like film and ships like software.
