2025 Steadi Reel
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I began learning steadi in 2022 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Steadi reshaped the way I interpret cinematograohy, and it's one of the most important decisions Ive made throughout my career. I wish everyone can experience operating it at least once. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are a few pieces of work throughout the past few years. Looking to upgrade my sled soon!

2025 DP Reel

Stepped back from mainly dp'ing for a few years. In that time, however, I was lucky to have experienced such rich and informative technical roles within the camera department. 2025 was a year of relearning fundamentals and the behavior of light. Looking forward to applying everything I've learned to 2026. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These are selects from the few DP roles I tackled since 2022 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to my gaffers, grips, PD, set decs, AC's and more who make the image happen 🫰🏻 #losangeles #directorofphotography #dp #film #cinematography

Been a sadboi for a long time, but with the new year and new beginnings it’s time for me to enter my sadman era ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 9 years ago I decided to quit school and go all into videography and eventually the film industry. There were numerous times when I wanted to quit. But in 2025 I was finally able to say that it was worth it. Despite the broken relationships, dumb ass run of shows, egotistic directors, and Teradeks, it was worth it. Friends whom I love are in my life because I chose this risk. And I’d do it over again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some memorable projects throughout the years since 2015. Thank you to all friends and clients from close and afar for sharing spaces with me 🩶

Submission for @musicbed . Thank you for watching. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Back in December, a producer friend challenged me to try narrative for the first time. I had zero experience, but decided to take it on for 2026. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve always loved “A Ghost Story” by David Lowery, and this idea randomly came to me at a pocha lol. We put everything together in under two weeks for Musicbed’s challenge.

Thank you for the love and thoughtful messages on this project ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although through questionable means, we put so much thought into the world, lighting, and characters. Filmmaking is definitely our generations 6th love language ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shot on Komodo, Nisi Athenas, and Lomo sphericals, I think lol

“TELEKINESIS” by @travisscott Spec Music Video

Beautiful VFX art by @bcamfilm . The director imagined a version of hell—something meant to violently contrast the backdrop of the film. Seeing that vision translated like this… I love what we created
