I am a photographer and filmmaker with a strong focus on music and documentary storytelling. I specialize in photography and film in 35mm, digital, 16mm, and Super8 formats, coupled with darkroom development skills. Experienced in colour-grading and post-production work, I have collaborated with clients such as Moon Dogs, Stephen Sanchez, Lake Street Dive, and The Paper Kites. Currently, I lead the photography team at Five Cent Sound, managing concert coverage and editorial shoots, coordinating scheduling and approvals for photo requests, and providing mentorship and workshops. I also founded Red Line Records to support emerging Boston-area musicians and creatives, where I oversee strategy, creative direction, events, and community engagement.
