I’m a cinematographer focused on narrative and documentary storytelling. I use naturalistic lighting and immersive camera movement to elevate grounded, character-driven narratives.

Psychology informs everything I shoot. I think in terms of how people see and feel: how light, framing, and motion steer attention and shape emotion.

My approach is observational, intentional, and I keep the edit in mind. I bring a steady hand, a sharp eye, and a craftsman’s mindset.

I’m here to tell visually striking, emotionally resonant, and radically honest stories. Branded or independent, narrative or documentary.
