Request QuoteI am a DP based in Berkeley with extensive experience in creating compelling visuals for journalism and documentary projects. I shoot on a Sony FX6, supported by three Sony A7S III cameras for multi-angle coverage. I use the full line of Sony G Master prime lenses to ensure sharp, cinematic visuals. For audio, I rely on a Tascam X8 recorder with a Sennheiser MKE400 shotgun mic and G3 wireless lavalier. I’m also an FAA-certified drone pilot with a Mavic Air 2S for aerial footage. My expertise includes using gimbals with Raven Eye technology for seamless multi-camera movement, even in solo setups. Additionally, I have a professional 3-point lighting kit with a beauty dish for high-quality interview and narrative lighting. Storytelling is my passion, and I pride myself on showing up on time and working discreetly, efficiently, and professionally to deliver polished results.

Kent was very flexible and communicative as the project continued to evolve during the planning process. He went above and beyond to meet my needs and accommodate some last minute changes. The shoot itself went very smoothly, with him handling a four-camera/two-person interview solo that looks and sounds great. He was also able to quickly gather b-roll in our limited time, operating both a Ronin and drone for a wide variety of scenes. Highly recommend working with Kent.

Kent shot two interviews on short notice. He was very communicative and delivered the footage on time.
This interview was a long time in the making. I knew I would want to do this interview many years ago, but as it is my family affected the content felt too close to home. The story was also just constantly changing. Im happy with the timing we eventually settled on.
