DOCUMENTARY CINEMATOGRAPHY
“As a documentary cinematographer, it’s my goal to capture non-fiction material in a dynamic, spontaneous way, while maintaining an artistically sound foundation. Much like playing jazz, it’s exciting, experimental improvisation within a thoughtful and precise structure. If I had to choose my biggest passion in this industry, capturing the raw material to tell powerful documentary stories would be the clear choice. I’ve filmed in this capacity all over the world and am eager to help you visually tell your story!”
