Character-first cinematography: motivated camera and lighting
Reliable execution: on ambitious indie schedules
I’m a Los Angeles–based Director of Photography with over 20 years of experience shooting on digital and 16mm/35mm film. I focus on narrative features and collaborate closely with directors during prep to develop a visual language that supports performance and story. I’m comfortable working with both lean and larger crews on ambitious schedules.
My work has been recognized with Best Cinematography awards for We Are Human Too at Los Angeles film festivals.
