Hi, I'm Brandon, and I'm a freelance Cinematographer, Video Editor, & Photographer. I started my career assisting in the camera department and for photographers in Los Angeles in 2010. After several years in LA, I moved to Portland, OR where I continued my career working for a variety of sportswear clients. I began shooting independently in 2016 and have been steadily working at it since then. I'm used to working with crews of all sizes as well as those smaller single person productions as well. I've had the opportunity to travel the world doing what I love, and am super grateful to continue to do so.
