Available to hire
I’m a Director of Photography and videographer from South Florida.
Briefly, I have worked with a video camera, seemingly all my life and as a professional for over 7 years. I am very familiar with the various tools, systems, and software that come with the enhancement and best use of the video process; and have worked over the years in video production for large-scale events, corporate, and broadcasting clients.
I’ve used various lighting techniques to capture interviews that fit the story clients were trying to tell. I’ve assisted in scriptwriting, location scouting, and other coordinating efforts.
