Crew Listing


Description

I am a director of photography working primarily in the nonfiction format. I was raised in Arizona and later moved to New York, where I lit and lensed material spanning commercial content, television and live broadcast, short and feature documentaries, and short and feature narrative films. In 2023 I relocated to the Pacific Northwest.

Festival premieres include Tribeca Film Festival and Mountainfilm Festival. Commercial clients include Google, Meta, American Express, Levis, and McDonalds.

I also incorporate 10 years of perspective as a professional gaffer. Previous commercial clients include Google, Meta, American Express, Macy’s, and Estee Lauder. Editorial clients include Time, New York Times, Washington Post, and Vice News. Title credits include Tiger King (Netflix).

As a storyteller, I have an ongoing interest in the relationship between people and place. I am particularly interested in how these dynamics relate to climate justice and land rights.
