I finally made a demo reel of some of the stock footage productions I've done for @gettyimagescreative in the last 18 months. Instagram isn't really the best distribution platform for this, so turn your phone sideways and turn the sound on!

I shot and produced a really fun stock footage shoot a couple weeks ago for @gettyimagescreative . I rented a fake movie ambulance and followed it around the LA suburbs and then bits of Downtown with a drone and a car-to-car rig. (I'll post that in a bit). Can't wait to see where this footage winds up.

Welcome to Earth, Arthur Samuel Bergman. (Or for the time being, a small hospital room in Los Angeles)
You're here two weeks early, and your mom spent 53 hours in labor before the doctors decided it was time to take you out through the sunroof, but we're so happy to meet you. I can't wait to show you my favorite places on the planet and introduce you to all my friends, and even more prosaically, make you a fan of my favorite music and films.
Dad is tired and mom is recovering from a lot more than that, but it's time to let everyone know you're here. We've been parents for a little over a day now and it's still just sinking in.
A beautiful video by the incredibly talented Hal Bergman (@halbergman ), capturing the magic of Grand Illuminations🌟
Created by LA-based Liquid PXL (@liquidpxl ), the installation transforms The Yard at Cal Plaza with vibrant light, movement, and seasonal magic—from Electric Dandelions to a glowing LED tree. Experience it nightly through January 4, 2026.
📍 Grand Performances, The Yard at Cal Plaza | 350 S. Grand Avenue
Looking for one thing and found these gems captured by the one and only @halbergman with @gregoryfreeman007@kingpowchicken@erikmiles up in the hills of #Malibu

Had another super strange fog inversion at sunrise two days in a row a couple of days ago. Thick fog, but low enough for the tops of buildings to stick out of it. The first day I just hung out on my roof and watched it, but I charged my drones in case it happened a second time, and it did. Hyperlapse shot with the Mavic 3, everything else with the Inspire 3.
This was a really fun one I realized I haven't shared until now. My step-father harvey_alpert owns a 1971 MG convertible. He recently finished a restoration project on it, so he and my mom took it out for a drive while @devanshkaulpandit and I followed it around Ventura with the DJI Inspire 3 and a RED Komodo.
I took a trip to New York City for a week a couple months ago with @devanshkaulpandit to shoot more stock footage for Getty Images. One of our briefs was "Four Male Friends on a Day Out", so we wandered around DUMBO for a few hours and pretty much just let @blzinblasian , @andrew_brouillard , @cesaradore , and @yjrr13 be themselves and do their thing. Really happy with how this came out, and a super big thanks to @vinyl_veritas and @2ndstreetusa let us come into their stores and film our friends shopping.
Wanted to share a recent project for @gettyimagescreative that just went live. Over the summer I traveled to the UK and worked with @kelvinjayphoto on a series of briefs to capture the lives of active seniors. These are the Bramley Mermaids, a synchronized swimming troupe that practice at the Bramley Baths, an incredible indoor community pool just outside of Leeds built in 1904.

A handful of clips from earlier this year I realized I hadn't shared until now that I shot along the far Northern California coast in Mendocino County, when I drove from Seattle to Los Angeles and kept to the coast the whole way. This is one of my favorite landscapes in the world, even when it's a bit cloudy like this, it's hard to take a bad picture of it.
Shot with the DJI Inspire 3.
