Description

I am a camera operator and aspiring director of photography from the Philadelphia, PA area. I have almost ten years of still photography experience, and a undergraduate degree from Temple University in Broadcast, Telecommunications, Mass Media, and Photography. Over the past summer I worked as an AC on Lifetime Network's Project Runway spin-off On the Road with Austin and Santino, which aired this past summer. I have a full 7D kit, so I've been trying to keep busy shooting indie shorts and features in New York and Philadelphia when I can. I also interned at a production company in London called Connected Pictures, who produce commercials and corporate films all in-house for BBC and Channel 4. I was an office and field PA for 4 months while in London.

I am a very hard-working individual, and always strive to go beyond my employers' expectations. I'm meticulous, fast-learning, and have a positive, professional attitude on set, but can have a good time and consider myself a pretty down-to-earth person as a whole.
