I am a Director of Photography (DP) based in the Lower East Side of New York City. As a one-man band, I aim to capture compelling video that tells a story. I am used to working dynamically to capture high-quality footage without the need for large production teams and budgets. I constantly work to capture the most compelling final Camera Image.
Additionally, I work as an editor and content manager, ensuring that projects are always captured with final delivery in mind. Shooting with a pre-planned post-production workflow helps me deliver projects quickly and ensure content meets all expectations.
