I am a New Mexico based Director of Photography and IATSE Local 600 Camera Operator. I am also an FAA Certified Drone Pilot and SCUBA diver. Originally from southeast Alabama, I spent several years traveling, studying, and working around the country and abroad before eventually landing in Los Angeles, California, where I was based for 11 years and honed my skills in camera operating. I now reside in Santa Fe, New Mexico, shooting locally in northern New Mexico and the greater Southwest, as well as having the experience and availability to travel abroad to locations around the world. My camera work spans adventure documentary, feature films, reality, and recreation projects. The projects I have been a part of have taken me to over 100 countries, from 18,000ft above sea level to 1,000ft underground, and at temperatures ranging from 126F to -50F. I have developed my skill to specialize in a natural, vérité style of visual storytelling that captures the immediacy and visceral nature of dynamic stories.

I am a professional visual journalist, have been for more than 20 years. I began my career as a staff photographer at newspapers in the American West, at a time when papers still had darkrooms and photographers still processed their own film. In 1998, my wife, author Karen Coates, and I moved to Cambodia. There, I shot news, features and investigative stories for Agence France-Presse, The New York Times, The Cambodia Daily and dozens of magazines. We have since combined our talents on numerous projects examining under-reported stories across Asia and beyond, with particular focus on environment, health and social issues. For the past eight years, we have documented the widespread effects of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in Laos. Our book, Eternal Harvest: The Legacy of American Bombs in Laos, was published by ThingsAsian Press in 2013. Recently I added HD video work to my high-quality still image repertoire. I am a Senior Fellow at the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University and was a 2012-2013 Scripps Fellow in Environmental Journalism at the Center for Environmental Journalism at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Mi nombre es Leonardo, estudié cinematografía en el Instituto Superior de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales (ISCAA) de Santa Fe, Argentina. He realizado varios cortometrajes y mediometrajes de ficción y documental. También he sido director de El peso, largometraje de ficción, y asistente de dirección en la última película de Fernando Birri, (Padre del cine Latinoamericano, fundador de la primera escuela de cine documental de américa latina). Éstas experiencias me han llevado a inmiscuirme cada vez más en el ambiente del cine y la tv, haciendo de ello mi profesión. Actualmente estoy con la elaboración de 2 proyectos de largometrajes de ficción, y series de tv documental. Mi impronta narrativa es abordar la realidad con los menores filtros posibles, involucrarme en temáticas políticas y sociales, utilizando la poesía como principal factor argumentativo. La propuesta estética la utilizo de manera tal que el espectador se involucre en la obra siendo partícipe de la misma, y no cayendo en una puesta enajenadora. Actualmente poseo una Canon 7D con la cual realizo mis producciones independientes. "La estricta realidad siempre cobra alas y supera en imaginación a toda ficción"

• Documentary DP

Activist, storyteller, and public servant. With 15 years of experience in professional film and video work, I've dedicated my career to understanding narrative fiction as truth, non-fiction film as cinematic fact, and journalism as a blend of the two. The tools of making this content change all the time and I look at keeping up with these progressions as a pre-requisite while keeping the story at the center. I've worked as a producer for live events, field work, documentaries, narrative projects as well as spend time in the editing room, behind the camera, and in the classroom as a art & storytelling educator. I'm always looking for new challenges whether it means being a one person crew or managing a large number of professionals.
