I'm a cinematographer with eighteen years of on-set, field and post-production video and film experience. Since May 2005 I have directed photography on hundreds of projects, shooting with 35mm and 16mm film as well as digital formats including 4K+ and even 360 video. My work spans feature and short films, television and web series, music videos, educational content and commercials, and I also handle lighting and grip as needed. Since August 2022 I’ve been an Adjunct Professor of Cinematography at USC, where I mentor undergraduates and graduates and serve as USC’s 'Camera Genius'. I enjoy sharing the craft and career wisdom with the next generation of cinematographers. I am also currently writing a book on cinematography for Focal Press.
