I am a Los Angeles-based cinematographer with a strong ability to adapt to diverse environments. Originally from Chicago, I developed a keen eye for unique architectural angles and the vibrant energy of urban life. My breakthrough came when I had the opportunity to work with Kanye West, creating behind-the-scenes visuals for him and Damon Dash, former CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records.
The following year, I collaborated with Nelly, thanks to Chris Scholar, as the cinematographer for his platinum single “Lil Bit” featuring Florida Georgia Line, which was nominated for Best Collaborative Music Video at the CMT Music Awards. My passion for camera operation led me to connect with Greg Smith, SOC, who introduced me to the art of Steadicam operating.
I bring a comprehensive skill set in camera and lighting techniques, with training under ASC and SOC provisions.
After years in the industry,I’ve focused on efficiency and seamless production. My kit is equipped for quick changes and versatile camera builds, featuring an Inovativ Steadicam setup for swift load-ins and location moves. With precise control from the Tiffen Volt paired with the Arri Artemis. I’ve acquired various SOS(Steadicam on sticks), EVF brackets, and plates to be prepared for any condition for production. I’m passport-ready and bring a positive attitude to every project. For any production inquiries or operating needs, feel free to reach out.
