DIRECTOR 

PHOTOGRAPHY

OF

TELEVISION    DOCUMENTARY    ADVENTURE     AERIAL

I’ve spent over two decades behind the camera capturing real stories in real environments. From open ocean to backcountry mountains, I specialize in filming where conditions aren’t controlled and moments don’t repeat. Whether I’m building the look of a show, operating in extreme environments, or adapting fast in the field, I bring a practical, cinematic approach to every project.
