Film – Atlanta

Cinematography is my creative outlet; allowing me the opportunity to take everyday human stories and weave them into beautiful visual representations that can be shared with the masses. As a Camera Operator, my shooting style is inspired by directors and operators like The Hughes Brothers, Garrett Brown, Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, Richard Patterson and Clint Eastwood. My interest in film began during my studies at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale where I developed extensive knowledge of film and motion picture. After earning my Bachelor’s in Arts of Film and Digital Media, I uncovered that my passion lies in discovering unique and innovative methods of capturing the real world in a cinematic way; and so, I studied and gained my Steadicam certification with the inventor himself, Garrett Brown. I have shot for major companies like Nike Football, Lowes, and Adidas. I have also worked in varied roles on numerous productions such as the Steadicam operator for Adidas, Camera operator for various live events, 2nd Assistant Director on the TV show The Tattoo Shop, assisted the main camera for an AARP commercial and the second unit camera for as MTV TV show.
