My approach is rooted in compassion for the subject and a commitment to making them feel comfortable and heard. I am always prepared for unexpected responses, and know how to follow up or ask for more information to ensure that the answers feel natural and unrehearsed.

Whether in-studio or on-location, I have extensive experience with a range of professional camera brands, including Black Magic, Canon, Panasonic, and Sony. I am also proficient in mic'ing subjects, sound mixing, and setting up three-point lighting to create the perfect shot. In addition, I am adept at operating sliders and gimbals to capture dynamic and visually stunning secondary shots and b-roll.

With a small kit that includes a 4k camera, a variety of lenses, a 4-pc. bi-color light kit, lav and boom mics, I can stay nimble for one-man-band style gigs, or I can quickly scale up with more equipment and production staff for more complex shoots.

Overall, my skills in interviewing, directing, and camera operation make me an ideal partner for any shoot that requires a high level of professionalism, creativity, and technical expertise.
