Hello!

Photo by Allison Hess

I’m rooted in quiet observation and emotional precision. You’ll see it in the way I frame a shot, and you’ll hear it in the silences I leave room for.

My previous role at ProPublica allowed me to translate deep-dive investigations into evocative visual storytelling. I served as the director of photography for Before a Breath, ProPublica’s first in-house feature documentary, as well as for Cookie & Zo’e, which earned a Vimeo Staff Pick, and With Every Breath, which garnered over half a million views. Additionally, Losing Kyle, created at the San Francisco Chronicle, was honored with a regional Emmy. 

Currently, I'm building upon my documentary foundation by collaborating with brands and narrative directors. My style is clean but human. I’m always looking for the emotional thread underneath a scene and finding ways to bring it to an audience.
