Back at CrowdStrike HQ for another week of production.
We recreated their RSA convention setup and spent the week capturing direct-to-camera interviews and a fireside chat.
A good reminder that sometimes the challenge isn’t building something from scratch, it’s recreating an existing space in a way that still feels intentional and cinematic on camera. 🎥✨
Our crew recently collaborated with a production company from Texas on a piece for Oklo, an upcoming nuclear energy company. 🎬✨
The plan shifted quickly, and flexibility became part of the craft. 🔄💡
Staying calm, adapting, and solving problems with the crew is what keeps the director’s vision moving forward. 🎥🤝
At the end of the day: make it work, make it look good, and keep the story alive. 🌟📽️
Not every shoot happens in a studio. This one? A garage.
Tight spaces can be tricky, but with experience you learn how to shape the light, control reflections (hello closet door and giant mirror off camera right 😅), and make the space work for you. Not against you.
Always aiming to elevate the production value while staying true to the client’s vision. 🎬✨
Shout out to Tim for flying through those scripts on the prompter and to Julius for the help with G&E. 💪🎥
BTS from this week’s shoot. 🎬✨
This round I was gaffing for Ryan Lavine, shaping light, supporting the vision, and assisting with video capture throughout the photoshoot. 💡📸
I’m not always the DP. Sometimes the role is to collaborate, support fellow cinematographers and photographers, and elevate the image through thoughtful lighting. 🤝🎥
I usually forget to set up the 360 camera but not this time! 😂
I might try some meta glasses in the future.

Got the chance to DP a fun project for @jasonwada and @shaggieentertainment 🎥✨
One of those days where time is tight, the shot list is intense (~40 shots in under 10 hours), and the only way through is trust, teamwork, and a crew that shows up fully.
@steadimacho brought the movement; Smooth, bold, and full of character.
@macinlife@edc_films@colibricreative.studios painted the light with care and precision.
And libby_gotclassy kept the whole set grounded with an amazing lunch + crafty 🙌🍽️
We finished the day the way so many great shoots do. Adapting, staying creative, and turning my garage into a set. 🎬
Some work we shot for our friends at @windsongprod . @justinmakesmovies and I dop a series of interviews for UC SF Fresno. Here are some BTS of the light setup we used.
Happy birthaversary to my Mauro! 😘 Today marks 10 years of marriage with you and 40 years of you on this earth. I love you and I love the way you love our family and friends. Here’s to many more adventures together in the years to come. 🥂
Heading back to Chile to visit family and friends. Nothing like recharging with the people and places that feel like home 🇨🇱✨
And escaping winter to enjoy a little spring in the southern hemisphere? Not a bad bonus at all. 🌸✈️🔥
Year three shooting for the Ed Lund Foundation 🎥💫
Always a joy capturing the stories of Fresno State art students heading to London 🇬🇧🎨
Their excitement and passion never fail to inspire. It’s always an honour to help share their journeys. 🙌🏼
