Crew Listing


Description

I am a photographer and cinematographer based in Spokane, Washington. I have the distinction of being formally trained not only in the industry, but at the world-renowned Brooks Institute of Photography. My education, combined with an unparalleled inventory of equipment puts me in a truly distinctive position to create cinematic imagery.

My strong background in lighting has led to numerous jobs as a gaffer. My lighting style feels very natural to viewers. I sculpt light to define shape, highlight details, and to create mood. I am an easygoing character and a warm personality. I have a true "love of the game." I have been active in cinematography for 15 years, and still photography for 25 years.

I can outfit a production with everything it needs, including generators, power distribution, grip trucks, a studio to shoot in, high-end light fixtures from ARRI, a 30 ft. Jimmy Jib, and more from Shutterworks Rentals Spokane.
