Noah H.
Columbus, OH, USA
$400 - $800
Starting with school plays when I was young, I have always loved being "behind the scenes". Whether I am shooting stills, video, or doing technical work, my goal is to be a neutral observer. In tandem with this passion, is a love for story telling. As someone who enjoys learning above most other activities, helping others to learn through visual storytelling is important to me. Equally important is telling the story that YOU want told. Great stories are often the result of collaboration, let's work together today!
