I don’t do these posts that often, but here we go.
.
A lot has happened in the past two years:
I moved to Huntington Beach in Southern California (then moved again to Santa Monica), I went full time freelance, I bought (what was at the time) my dream camera, etc.
.
But most importantly, I’ve been able to pursue my passion… filmmaking. The path to a cinematographer in the film industry is a grind, but it’s so worth it. Crazy to think I’m just getting started. Although we’ve got a LONGG ways to go, we’re here to make our dreams a reality.
.
Grateful for all the awesome people and friends I’ve made so far.

Enough with the cheesy talk… back to work🎥
Feature Film | June 2025
.
Such a fun time working on this feature out in Cape Cod 🌊🦞 It was definitely a wild ride but I’m thankful for the work and to have done it with a great group of people (both new and old)🫶🏻
.
I always take away so much from each project, not only as a crew member who’s growing in their craft, but as a person. Truly grateful to God to have been able to find something I find great fulfillment in and to be able to call it my job. Can’t wait for the next one😈

Grateful for the opportunity to DP this short narrative film alongside the crazy skills of @chel.sea.bo and @seanpdrummond . Chelsea called me the night before they were set to drive six hours north of California, inviting me to join on what became one of the most spontaneous and rewarding work experiences I’ve ever had.

Can anyone guess where this one’s from?

Late Night Fog
.
As I was driving home from set one night, at around 11pm-ish, I see this thick layer of fog. I happened to have my Sony A7s lll and so I decided to pop off a few shots and - voila🤌🏼

Have had this one on the back burner for a little bit. Captured on a spontaneous Sunday afternoon.
