Over the span of 8 years as Director of Photography at Digital Kitchen, I worked with directors and producers to shoot over 150, 30 minute sports documentary TV show every two weeks for the AT&T U-Verse Cable network. We work hard to constantly find the best possible shot and angle to convey every story that we are telling through the lens.

Compose and create artistic shots for the final edit during my time on set while visually telling the story of each assignment. Hayden5 shoots a wide range of projects from branded Content, live music, sporting events to Hollywood commercials. I have been a part of all of these while working here. Currently Hayden5 is doing many remote "Dropkit" jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic. This involves a tech arriving to location, building the video "Dropkit", sanitizing making the equipment safe to use for the talent and rolling over the video "Dropkit" cart while monitoring the video shoot remotely along with helping the agency and director run the shoot smoothly.
