About

I'm a Director of Photography and lifelong visual storyteller with over three decades of experience. What began as a fascination with still photography evolved into a career behind the lens, crafting dynamic images for film, television, and commercials. A graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, I honed my craft on independent features, documentaries, and music videos for renowned artists. My career has spanned the full spectrum of image-making, from creating 35mm looks on 16mm film to pioneering new workflows with the latest digital cameras and LED technologies.

This journey has not only expanded my technical expertise, but also given me a unique perspective on applying cinematic principles to any medium. My work is driven by a mastery of light and a passion for narrative, whether I'm capturing the high-energy visuals of live concerts or creating intimate moments for documentaries.

I believe that cinematography isn't just about what's in the frame, but about how light and shadow can create emotion and define a world. I'm always looking for projects that push creative boundaries and tell an unforgettable story.
