Six years as the university's filmmaker of record. Much of the institution's film library, from brand films to documentary to social campaigns, was photographed, cut, and graded by one set of hands. A study in range and endurance inside a single client.

Documentary
Social fast, irreverent, built for the feed
Narrative, documentary, and commercial photography built on composition first: the frame as argument, light as point of view.
4K / Super 8 / HybridGrading as a standalone service. A colorist's eye trained by years of finishing my own photography. Available for your footage, your story, your finish.
Remote or supervised sessionsCutting for rhythm and feeling over coverage. From thirty-second social pieces to long-form documentary, increasingly as edit-and-color alone.
Offline through finishThe image should be felt before it is understood.
I came to the camera through film studies, through the conviction that an image works on you before you can say why. Fifteen-plus years later, that conviction is still the method: every frame, every cut, every grade is in service of what the viewer feels in the first half-second.
The sensibility runs from classical composure to the grain and flash of contemporary music film, and the synthesis is the point: rigorously made, deeply felt, never inert.
The work spans narrative shorts, documentary, commercial and institutional film, including six years building the University of Redlands' film library, alongside a wedding studio, Affect Visual, which takes a small number of commissions each year, at home and abroad.
I take on select freelance projects in direction, color, and editorial, and I'm open to a full-time seat with a studio or brand whose values match the work. If that's you, say hello.
Affect Visual is the wedding studio: a small number of commissions each year, at home and abroad, on digital cinema and Super 8.
