I am an independent filmmaker and director of photography working in London and New York, and a member of the Local 600 Cinematographers Guild in the US, and BAFTA Crew in the UK. With over 15 years of industry experience, my work has been featured at the Sundance and Tribeca film festivals, broadcast nationally, and has collected numerous awards along the way. Throughout my career I have worked on projects ranging from social issue documentaries to political satire comedy shows, all contributing to a unique perspective on storytelling where compassion and humor work side by side. My most recent films American Renaissance (2015) and Bending Steel (2013) have both premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and have gone on to screen in cinemas worldwide. The feature-length Bending Steel aired on DirecTV in the US, won both the Emerging Cinematic Vision and Audience Awards at the Camden International Film Festival, and received a nomination for the Cinema Eye Honors Spotlight Award. On the small screen, I was a director of photography for the Emmy Award winning Daily Show with Jon Stewart for nearly 10 years, and have recently been brought along by former Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee to lens her new late night show on TBS, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. I am an owner/operator of the 4K capable Sony FS7 Cinema Camera, and am available for hire on both union and non-union narrative and documentary films, television productions, commercials, and branded projects.
