Available to hire
I am a Director of Photography with over a decade of experience in documentary filmmaking and visual storytelling. I focus on human-interest stories and social impact, balancing lighting design, camera operation, and shot composition to craft compelling narratives.
I love collaborating with production teams across departments, adapting to challenging environments, and continually expanding my craft—from gimbal and drone work to stills photography and writer-driven storytelling.
