About Me
Member Since 2011 | Views: 1,765
I am a creative Director of Photography, Camera Operator, Gaffer and Video Producer with years of experience and a sharp eye for shots. I am an owner/operator of multiple cameras including a Sony FX9, Sony FX6, RED Komodo-X as well as a Sony A7SIII. I also have quality lighting and sound gear I can provide. I have trusted crew members I work with and I am able to assemble a crew. I have worked on TV shows, documentaries, commercials, and countless corporate videos. I am very passionate about lighting and using lights to enhance mood, depth, and storytelling. I'm skilled at setting up visually beautiful sit-down interviews as well as shooting engaging B-Roll. I am also experienced in shooting with Gimbals. I have a Ronin-RS3 that I often operate with my A7S III but I can use it with FX6.
I also rent out gear using Sharegrid.
I have been in the industry since 2010.
