On Tuesday, my team and I had the absolute privilege of filming the election night celebration and victory speech for @zohrankmamdani . The experience was nothing short of surreal and deeply inspiring.
It all started with a studio interview we shot months ago, a piece that caught the attention of Zohran’s campaign and communications director. Fast forward to election night, and we found ourselves on the floor, cameras rolling, capturing history in real time.
Endless gratitude to Andrew (@schweppestein )and Donald (@boringstein ) for recognizing our work and bringing us into such a meaningful moment. And to my incredible team: Kierra, our powerhouse producer who kept everything moving seamlessly from call sheets to crowd interviews, and Karl, Greg, and Johnny - true camera snipers who caught every moment with precision and artistry. Couldn’t have done it without you all. #zohranfornyc

Recently had an incredible time shooting a @nike partnered spin class at @spikedwellness ! The energy was electric, and the inspiration was high. My goal was to capture dynamic shots and create an ad-like feel. One spontaneous idea was to incorporate frame freezes with key team members, showcasing their names and titles in the background, thanks to the magic masking tool in Davinci Resolve.
For lighting, I experimented with a mix of soft and hard light using spotlight attachments and lanterns interchangeably. @aputure.lighting products are top-notch, and I look forward to expanding my kit with more of their gear.
A big shoutout to @bri.monee for entrusting me with the vision at Spiked - the work you’ve done is incredible, and I’m excited for what the future holds! Special thanks to @clem_dow for the invaluable support on set and for capturing some amazing still images. 🙏🏾
Taking you behind the lens of our recent ASUS shoot that will be dropping soon, where we brought creativity and tech together. Here’s how we made it happen:
1. Dynamic Shots: We aimed for shots that tell a story, moving beyond the ordinary. From unique angles to capturing the essence of the moment, every frame was a step into a world of visual storytelling.
2. 3-Point Lighting: For our interviews, we harnessed the power of 3-point lighting. This setup wasn’t just about illumination; it was about crafting the perfect mood, ensuring our subjects shone in their best light.
3. Being Yourself: The heart of this shoot? Authenticity. It’s about having fun, being yourself, and letting that genuine energy reflect on set. After all, the best moments are when you’re truly having fun and being you.
Each element played a pivotal role, blending together to create something memorable. Thanks to the team, the gear, and the unending creativity, we turned visions into visuals. Check out my website for more work! 🎬
