After 30 years as a national newspaper and magazine photojournalist, I’ve incorporated those story-telling skills into cinematic projects that grab hearts and reshape public opinions about people in society who are often devalued and marginalized. Stories are king. Compelling still images, strong narratives, creative b-roll and well-paced editing create video projects that keep the readers watching.
