I recently found out that a documentary I worked on as a colorist premiered on PBS and I'm still on cloud nine! Being part of this project was an honor, especially highlighting the importance of HBCU schools and Robert Covington's inspiring story. Watch the full documentary, “Allergic to Failure: the Robert Covington Story”, on PBS WHYY's website or YouTube. #allergictofailure #HBCU #colorgrading

@theagapeschoolpa is an early childhood learning center built on elevated education, unconditional love, and whole-child development. Founded by passionate educators Terria and Jasmine, Agape offers a unique STEM and Spanish immersion curriculum that builds confidence, curiosity, and critical thinking—supported by low child-to-teacher ratios and a truly nurturing environment. We at D. Luminous Productions were honored to help bring their mission to life through video.

A few frame grabs from my recent DP job working on a project with @reprabb . It was really an honor to work along side Rep Rabb and his campaign team. This was shot with the Blackmagic Pyxis 12K and the Cinema Camera 6K using the DZO Vespid Primes.

A room full of women choosing confidence, connection, resilience, and bold expansion together. The Unstoppable Women event with the @montco_chamber_pa was more than a networking event — it was a powerful reminder of what happens when women come together to support, challenge, and uplift one another. From stories of resilience to conversations about leadership, growth, intention, and community, the energy in the room spoke for itself. We at D. Luminous Productions are grateful to help capture a moment that celebrates women who continue to move forward with purpose, strength, and audacity.

Linda Jerue has a way of making networking feel less like work and more like community. That spirit was on full display at Montco Magnified, where members, guests, honorees, and local business leaders came together to celebrate the people helping Montgomery County, PA grow stronger. The room was full of conversations, introductions, laughter, and the kind of energy that reminds you why the @montco_chamber_pa is such a valuable connector for local businesses. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, and a special spotlight to Linda for the heart, dedication, and consistency she brings to helping members be seen, supported, and connected. We’re grateful for the continued relationships and the opportunities to help build creative content that highlights the people, businesses, and stories shaping this community. Already looking forward to the next one.

Back on set, diving into some pickup sessions at #wurdradio. Thrilled to be collaborating with my team again on this full feature documentary. #dplife #cinematography #filmlife🎬

Montco Magnified last night was one for the books! Over 110 people in the room, members, guests, partners, and friends laughing, connecting, and enjoying an incredible evening together at Cedarbrook Country Club. The food was outstanding, the conversations were even better, and the energy in the room is exactly what makes this community so special! And I’m willing to bet most of you are still reciting Matt Goerke’s memory list… tree, light switch, stool 😉 Anyone want to finish it off and get us to 15? 😊 A huge thank you to our generous sponsors for making the night possible, to @kevinyorkphotographer and @mrjamieblack for capturing the event with pictures and a video I will always cherish, and to everyone who came out and helped create such a great atmosphere. Looking through these photos really says it all. Already looking forward to the next one.

Just dropped a new video on the @dulens.usa APO 110mm T2.4—and yeah… this one surprised me. This lens leans into character, texture, and a more cinematic feel that actually stands out. I break down my real-world experience, where it works, where it doesn’t, and who it’s really for. If you’ve been trying to figure out your look as a filmmaker, or you’re tired of everything feeling a little too “perfect,” this might be one to pay attention to.

This past weekend, I got to see some old friends while celebrating my dear friend’s birthday in the #thewarf District of D.C.Took this opportunity to take the #Pyxis12K and the @dulens.official APO 31mm and the 110mm of the Mini Primes set. This monochromatic style and the vintage feel of the Dulens gives this timeless look that I really love. Enjoy!

Let’s just say me and gimbals have had a toxic relationship. And I tried to avoid them if I can. Lol. But I recently picked up this @smallrig.us monopod, and it fixed everything I don’t like about gimbals. This combo is a beast.
