Thrilled to share frames from @somewhereinmontana ! This movie was a blast to shoot with an incredible cast and crew. I’m so happy for the film to play in theatres this fall. Congrats, everyone! Something special about this film, we shot entirely on the @rapido.technologies RAM-16 lenses, specially the Cinelux 2x anamorphic paired with the Helios 44-2 and Jupiter 9 lenses. Thank you, @2020camera_rental for hooking us up! #Cinematography #Filmmaking #Cinema #Indiefilm

I had a blast shooting the film “Exodus”, when I first knew it as ”Noise and Color”, for director Logan Stone. This movie cemented my love for anamorphic. Shout out to @cameraambassador for providing our camera package! #Filmmaking #Cinematography #Anamorphic #R3D

The guns of “Exodus”, also known as “Noise and Color”. Fun fact, one was an airsoft and one was rubber. #Filmmaking #Cinematography #Anamorphic

I was very lucky to shoot some of @archdigest ’s Love Letters to LA with some amazing people in front and behind the camera. What a wonderful experience. Thank you, AD and team! #Cinematography #LosAngeles #architecture #SetLife

New work for @gq I had a great team help me shoot this interview with @jayz about his legendary career. @the_summerman was a true pro. Our director, Nick Collett, wanted our lighting to feel like it’s an intimate conversation in a photography studio with a sky light. We used three fantastic @schmidlibackdrops for our set up while gaffer @that1movie and key grip @dczaczyk rigged up an excellent key light: 4x naked litemat 4’s pointed straight down through a 12’ full grid diffusion. That was our only source of light, nothing else. Camera team helped us so much! Three cheers for cam ops @mike_maliwanag and @brooke_muellerrrr . We also would be completely lost if it wasn’t for our ac @mollyfarrellwhite . The GQ team is my favorite and I always love working with @realsamdennis , @kristen.bo.bisten , and Nick. (Does he have an Instagram?!) Thank you thank you thank you, @hollography and @fernando.barajas !!!! Expert audio captured by @gloisblue

I uhh, shot a meme a couple months ago. Didn’t have that in my bingo card. Here’s work I did for @gq #ManOfTheYear. This was one of many interviews we shot. Dir: Nick Collett Executive Producer: Cara Marceante Cam Ops: @that1movie @lucasvilicich Fun note, the clouds were nuts that day and my 600c’s were working hard.
