got dusted on Duster.
this show was wild. from flipping cars and being Josh Holloway's "personal photographer" to spending 45min stuck in a van with JJ Abrams -- i really will never forget this show. by FAR the most fun i've ever had on a job and it truly was an honor to be a part of it.
and it was also the last time i got to work with my COVID family (Danielle, Anthony, Ashley, Brittany, Galen and Zack). i'm forever gonna miss the shenanigans we pulled. all the running around, the celebrity stalking and the random side missions (let's just say getting approval from JJ for a wind breaker jacket is a LOT harder than it sounds) -- it was just perfect and i'm honored to have served alongside y'all.
also, getting paid to day-drink... not a bad way to go out as a department! 😂😂

truly honored to have been able to help some incredible directors bring their amazing stories to life with some GOD-tier crews!
Eternal Elegy in Velvet
or as i'll forever remember it: my first time dp-ing on 16mm!!
thank you to Michelle for trusting me with shooting this project, and especially for trusting me to do it on film! i'm truly honored that you had enough faith in me to let me shoot this meaningful story on film.
huge shout-out to my camera and g&e crews for absolutely ANNIHILATING on this one (not that they don't always, but they especially cooked for this).
and special thanks to @alex.jack.director from Panavision. you're truly a godsend and there's a special place in film heaven for you my lad!

behind the scenes on Rescue Mission (or as it's saved on my phone: "Vertical Sexy Firefighter Feature")
i know i always say this, but it truly was the wildest of times. over the course of 9 days, we shot 505+ setups with two cameras, faked more fires than i can count, spent countless hours filming abs, sat on top of wayyy too many firetrucks, jumped out of a (landed) plane, had a surprise midway bump to DP -- all while having the absolute time of my life.
thank you to @inspirado.tv (and my directors @cheydugan and @karnespk ) for trusting me and letting me do some wild things on this project. t'was really the funnest of times!

'Slide to Unlock'
ended 2025 with with a shoot that I'd been dreaming of since I was 8-years-old! had a wild weekend of throwing cameras off the edges of speeding cars.
thank you to Wes for bringing me on and trusting me with such a badass project, thank you to my ACs (Sam-wise and Camila) for straight up just being gods, thank you the our incredible grips (Anthony, Reed and Jay Todd) for letting me some really dangerous stuff with a camera and leaving it scratch-less
special thanks to Dwight Dollins, Artu Arin and @panavisionofficial (Scott Steele, @alex.jack.director & @dark_bunny_film ) for making all this possible n

2025 - a year in stills.
what can I say; the years get busier, the shoots get crazier and the shenanigans get wilder.
this year started at a hundred (winning the Kodak x Anora contest) and somehow just went vertically up from there. in these past 365 days I... worked with some absolute legends (people I truly look up to) on some dream projects, hung wayyy too many expensive cameras off of speeding cars, shot my first few commercials, did wayyy too many dumb things under the guise of "work" , wasted soooo so much film, among MANY other dumb things -- and I did it all surrounded by the greatest of people.
I wish I could pictures of and tag everyone who made this year incredible and easily the most special of my life. you all truly mean the world to me.
thank you to everyone for enduring my existence for another spin around the sun. can't wait to do it again but even crazier next year!

The Weight of Letting Go
i really am making a career out of filming sad women.
man, this was a fun one! two weekends of running around with skeleton crews (filled with the greatest of people), rarely more than two lights and wayyy too many lenses.
thank you to Alex for bringing me on to this very person project, thank you to Seth Beabout and my revolving door of 2nd ACs for genuinely carrying my ass on this project, and thanks to Panavision for letting me do some really dumb shit with wayyyy too expensive equipment.
