Storytelling, conveying emotion, and capturing a single moment in time are only a few reasons why I love cinematography. Since taking the 180-degree turn from motorcycles and still photography, I’ve worked on numerous television shows, commercials, music videos, and feature films in various capacities, including Director, Director of Photography, and Camera Operator.
