I specialize in crafting narrative pieces. I bring a keen insight and dedication to telling a story in the best form. Photography, filmmaking, writing, graphic design, and digital creation give me a wide range of experience to pull from. Being self-taught in the tools and workflows of the trade, I bring a deep understanding and appreciation to all aspects of each project. I thrive in harsh environments, driving and working with small, high skilled, and talented crews. Crafting intimate, and emotional, stories with a unique style and flare. Being a consummate problem solver, I have always gravitated to working on unique and demanding projects. I apply my love for technology, narrative, and adventure to create experiences that have garnered millions of views on social media. I combine a life of adventure with the mediums of photography, filmmaking, writing, and graphics. Working in some of the harshest conditions, I have developed a unique fluency for capturing impossible shots. Known for my acumen in endurance, I am undaunted by long hours, brutal environments, and rugged terrains. The most radical of situations often lead to the most compelling stories. Starting at a young age, with a gift of a camcorder, I created movies with friends. Years later, the tradition continued as I made music videos, short films, and snowboarding/ skiing videos. I have worked for several years professionally, learning and developing a style and technique, and earned projects that have taken me around the world.

I create handcrafted documentary films full of heart and empathy. Films that inspire and resonate long after viewing. Stories of heroes and victims, science and progress, climate and environment. With more than 20 years as a photojournalist and filmmaker, my passion for storytelling has taken me from the burning ghats of Varanasi, India, to a smuggler's tunnel in Nogales, Mexico. Capturing the complexities of the human spirit and creating images that move others to act is the greatest gift of my profession. During my newspaper career, I was twice named Scripps Howard photographer of the year and earned dozens of national and international awards. I work for newspapers, including The Washington Post and NY Times, magazines and media outlets, as well as commercial and nonprofit clients. I also teach video storytelling and serve as a board member of the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar. I have made two very successful feature length documentaries – one about a homeless man running from his demons and finding grace in unlikely places, and another about finding solutions to racial inequality following the death of George Floyd. My short films have earned three Emmys and a national Addy. I live in Boulder, Colorado and welcome any assignments or inquiries, near or far.
