I’m a photographer and videographer creating clear, engaging visual content for agencies, brands, musicians, and anybody who needs it.
My work includes event photography, recap videos, portraits, product shoots, music visuals, and short-form content for platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
I use a range of techniques, including timelapse, hyperlapse, stop-motion, smooth motion, and drone footage, to add variety and creatively support the story behind each project.
I work in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom, and Photoshop, delivering modern, polished content tailored to each client’s needs.
I enjoy the collaborative process, understanding the purpose of a project and developing visuals that help communicate it effectively.
Photography and videography remain a personal passion as well.
Something I explore outside client work to stay inspired and continue improving creatively.
