I love telling peoples' and brands' stories. I've been a Creative Director on some of the most well known brands in the world, but lately have shifted my focus to shooting 100% - both video and stills. While working in the "Advertising" world, I often directed and or shot work for my clients and over time, that has become my passion. I have a deep understanding of all the modern platforms, their best practices and what works best to make people pay attention. My focus is taking my ad industry know-how and marrying it to my photojournalistic way of working to bring meaningful and impactful stills and video to today's content starved platforms.
