I’m a feature film-experienced DP. Having shot two low-budget ($250K) feature films along with dozens of other short form narrative work, I have the inventive and improvisational spirit that gets the job done quickly and professionally. I have created a high dollar look time and time again with a limited budget. I also have the crew support of some of the best young talent in Los Angeles. I’ve worn many hats over the years, including that of an editor so I know the INs and OUTs of proper coverage of any given scene or scenario. I never waste time, and never waste a shot. Having documentary filmmaking experience taught me to constantly be on my toes for unexpected surprises and creative camerawork. As a combat veteran I shot in Afghanistan for 13 months, and often made bold choices that put myself in direct danger just to get the shot (a bit of that work is on my reel).

I’ve always impressed those I work for with my professionalism, kind heart, and collaborative spirit. I will impress you, I guarantee it. I look forward to speaking!

Quick note on my day rate… I’m very sensitive to the struggles of putting together a project on a limited budget so just lay it on me; let me know where you’re at. But just so you know, my rates are as follows (all include my gear):
Narrative – $350/day
Commercial – $500/day
Corporate – $750/day

I do own my own camera package that may or may not be appropriate for your project. It is composed of 2 cameras of the same make, which can allow for a tremendous amount of coverage for any given scenario. I also have access to RED Scarlets, EPICs, and cinema primes at deep discounts.
