Welcome…

With light, shadow, motion and color I create visual narratives that resonate with audiences. A passion for storytelling and a keen eye for details make my collaborations with clients successful. Creating a lasting and honest connection to audiences is what drives me. I hope I can help you connect with your audience. 

I have more than 20 years of professional Director of Photography experience creating images for broadcast and corporate clients. I have the technical skill to help form solid shooting plan and the experience to know how to quickly adapt to the various challenges that pop up on set. 

I see my role as DP as being more than just a technical and creative advisor. I believe in being a true production partner. As a partner I am invested in the success of the project as a whole. I take the responsibility to deliver the best experience for everyone, especially the end clients. I take pride in endeavoring to exceed you and your clients expectations.

I am based in Philadelphia, PA but have worked on projects throughout the country. Over the years of working at home and on the road I have curated many industry contacts to help in making a shoot get off the ground. I have also invested in equipment that allows me to provide production solutions that are cost effective and ready to go.

Drop me a line, and lets talk about how we can form a connection with your project.

  • B-rolling the Great Salt Lake. Or what’s left of it. With Jackson.  I think this was from 2016 or so.
  • More Artful Design set stills. Kodak 5203 (50iso) processed in ECN-2.
  • Last Artful Design interview setups for the season. I hope we get do it together again soon. Don’t forget to watch Artful Design tomorrow 1pm @magnolianetwork. Kentmere 400 pushed 1 stop.
  • Sad news to report. The cart is finally dead. Even though he tried @elitheop couldn’t kill it.  It started as a $80 Harbor Freight experiment and with some modifications lasted the 6 month run on Artful Design. But today it goes to the scrap man. RIP, May your wheels live on in another life.
