Hello!
My approach is rooted in quiet observation and emotional precision—I listen deeply, allowing authentic moments to unfold naturally on camera. Relentlessly in service of the shot, my style is clean but human. Controlled but visceral. I’m always looking for how light, space, and emotion interact when no one’s trying too hard.
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.
I'm now focused on building on my documentary foundation by collaborating with brands and narrative directors. If you're looking to create visually compelling, emotionally resonant work, let's connect.
Based in Brooklyn, NY and Baltimore, MD and open to working worldwide.
Let’s meet.
