About Me

As an ‘05 graduate of Florida State’s Film School, I have had the pleasure to learn from ASC cinematographer Rex Metz the intricacies of lighting and camera.

Since film school, I have had the opportunity to work with cinematographers such as Sandi Sissel (ASC) , Patti Vanover (ASC) and Peter Hawkins as a camera assistant and operator.

I have gotten to work for networks such as NBC, NOVA and Hallmark and legends like Sir Anthony Hopkins and Morgan Freeman.

These opportunities have introduced me to many different styles and formats and allowed me to develop my own style of cinematography. They have also taught me how to get the job done efficiently and given me access to a large network of great crew members.

In January 2006- I had the opportunity to DP my first feature film in Tallahassee- an experience from which I learned a great deal. As a cinematographer in LA- I have gotten the chance to be the Director of Photography on several music videos, short films and documentaries- all of which have further developed my shooting style.

I’m very excited for the chance to work on Claire. The script lends itself very well to visual story telling and I’m looking forward to donating my talents to creating a rich visual style that sets a tone for the project.
