I work as a freelance cinematographer and I’m usually up and down the east coast pointing my camera at people and places. I love the strategy and fine tuned detail of larger productions but the thrill of a single camera, “run and gun” shoot is sometimes unmatched. I pride myself on gorgeous and modern visuals and I just make things work. Contact me for anything, regardless of scale.
