As an accomplished cinematographer with an national Emmy nomination I am adept at lighting, blocking & operating for a variety of visual styles and cinematic formats; ranging from documentary and travel series, reality and commercial content, to full frame scripted features. My career became rooted in still photography in the late 90's working with stock image companies such as Corbis and Getty Images, delivering imagery with an impact. Since then, I've made the segue to cinematographer and in addition to a BFA in Film Production and Cinematography I have been privileged enough to work for clients such as Discovery, History Channel, NBC, ABC, National Geographic, General Electric, BBC, Disney, and many others.
