About
I’m a cinematographer and camera operator who enjoys setting up and operating cameras with the right angles and lighting to bring the director’s vision to life. I focus on solid shot execution, good color understanding, and paying attention to the small details that make visuals feel intentional.
I’ve worked across multiple productions and genres, handling camera and lighting in real terrain, supporting shot division and people management, and contributing to post-production using tools like Premiere Pro and Photoshop. I manage multiple priorities with a positive attitude, stay ready for added responsibilities, and keep developing my skills to help tell stories through strong visuals.
