Jeff was professional and excellent! We hired him to conduct an important interview for the network and he came with the right gear, attitude and aptitude to get the job done, content was delivered immediately and Jeff created a quicktime clip so our correspondent could get right to work. Would recommend to any of my colleagues

It was fantastic to work with Jeff again. He was flexible and accommodating about going back to shoot with our subject and did a really great job capturing another interview and compelling shots of our subject in her natural environment. Highly recommend!
