What I make

From multi-city documentary series to one-day brand shoots, I handle shot design, lighting, camera and post — through to the final colour grade.

    Documentary cinematography and production for series, nonprofits and brands — natural-light, run-and-gun filmmaking that captures honest, human stories.

  • Brand Films

    Brand films, interview series and social content for small businesses, salons, studios and creative brands — cinematic, authentic and built to convert.

  • Events

    Event recap videos for grand openings, ribbon cuttings, brand activations, festivals and private parties — fast turnaround, cinematic edits.

  • Cinematography

    Freelance Director of Photography for short films, music videos and commercials. Shot design, lighting and camera from script to screen.
