https://vimeo.com/644499006 https://vimeo.com/324992876 https://vimeo.com/29606226 I've been behind the scenes for over 25 years. Directing Photography, producing, Gaffing, and I have long dabbled in post...I like to keep things fairly stylized, unique and bold frames that don't shy away from negative space when it's called for. Mostly, I try to LISTEN to what the story wants. It'll call for the appropriate lens, lighting, and camera movement if you really pay attention to what it's saying. My job is to build from the story, not the other way around. I'm a well seasoned gregarious team player with vision, know-how, and lots of gear.
