Narrative · Documentary · Commercial — Southern California & Worldwide
Six years as the university's filmmaker of record. Much of the institution's film library — brand films, documentary, and social campaigns — was photographed, cut, and graded by one set of hands. A study in range and endurance inside a single client.
Brand & Campus
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.
