OWNER & AWARD-WINNING
CINEMTOGRAPHER / PRODUCER
I’m a producer and cinematographer based in British Columbia, working across scripted and unscripted content for commercial and feature-length formats. I shoot on RED KOMODO-X and grade in DaVinci Resolve, overseeing projects from pre-production through to final delivery. My work has aired across networks like Netflix, Disney/ABC, and Amazon, and I collaborate with top-tier unions like IATSE 891 and VFX teams that have delivered for Mel Gibson and CW shows.
My approach is story-first—every frame must serve emotion, character, and clarity. I specialize in drawing out honest, unguarded moments that connect with audiences, whether through vérité doc work or stylized cinematic pieces. Crew size doesn’t phase me—whether it’s a 35-person team or a lean 3-person unit, the priority is always execution at the highest level. My background in commercial production helps keep timelines tight, budgets sharp, and quality uncompromising. I build trust quickly and deliver clean, decisive results.
