What better way to tell someone's story than to capture it on camera? I've always felt most comfortable behind a camera, and cinematography has been a natural and passionate evolution for me. In my career as a photojournalist I kind of stumbled into video, it went something like this... Ted (my Marketing Director at the time): "Your camera can shoot video, right?" Me: "Yeah... why?" Ted: "Let's start interviewing people while you're on the road, we'll use the videos on social media to tell our story from the audience's perspective." Me: "Sounds fun! I can frame a shot... how hard can it be to capture motion?" Little did I know... years (and plenty of audio, focus, and frame-rate blunders) later, I've really grown to love video and the art of capturing story through cinematography. Here are a few projects I've shot along side some amazing people - both in production and on camera.
