I'm very front-footed in my approach. I always start by asking questions to fully understand the brief, the brand, and the goals. From there, we strategize. I present ideas and solutions for an approach that connects the creative vision with a smart production plan. I'm hands-on throughout the process, from building achievable shot lists to refining the look of the final deliverables.

Yes, in addition to photography I also create motion imagery: from social content & GIFs… to short form docs… to fully directed TV commercials. I’m also well versed in combo shoots where myself and my team are capturing both stills & motion in the same production.

Yes. I scale production to fit the project and have a deep roster of collaborators to call on. For larger shoots, I have trusted production companies I partner with. Or if you already have a preferred production vendor, I am happy to collaborate. For smaller editorial shoots, sometimes I handle production in-house. Either way, you’ll be covered: I'm hands-on through pre-production, closing gaps in the brief and aligning the team before we shoot.

I'm local to Los Angeles, Joshua Tree, and Palm Springs, California. I travel worldwide for assignments.

Yes. I'm comfortable directing both cast talent and non-professional subjects, and I'm good at putting people at ease so the work feels real.

Every project is quoted individually based on scope, deliverables, and usage. If you're still figuring out what you need or what your budget allows, reach out early and I'm happy to talk it through and help shape the project and budget to fit.

Photography and video are licensed for specific uses, such as web, social, advertising, or print, over a set period of time. I outline usage in each estimate so you know exactly what your images cover. Licenses can be extended or expanded later.
