About

I am a Peabody Award-winning Director of Photography focused on news and documentary. I am comfortable shooting solo or with a crew, and no assignment is too big or too small. My camerawork has won the Picture of the Year International Award (POYi), the George Polk Award, Scripps Howard and 4 National News and Doc Emmy nominations. I have filmed filmed for HBO, VICE News, BBC, Aljazeera and PBS both domestically in the US as well as South America, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. I am hostile environment certified and excel in covering conflict, social upheaval, and critical current affairs issues. I was the senior DOP of VICE News' viral documentary, "Charlottesville: Race and Terror", which has been viewed more than 65 million times and was hailed by TIME as the best TV episode of 2017. I have more than 20 years of journalism experience around the globe. When not filming, I train daily in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiujitsu and MMA, and can double as crew security. My ultimate goal is to teach martial arts.
