Part photographer, part designer, part writer, part all-around explorer. Documentary cinematography has found itself at the crossroads of my pursuits many times. Like a dance between your ideas and reality – I found comfort in letting the story steer the results while finding care and control in the process that leads to those results.
Based out of Southern Arizona. Born and raised out in the rugged grasslands of the desert [b. 2000]. I found an affinity for the outdoors, but also a strong curiosity for stories in urban environments. From the jungles of Guatemala, to the streets of Juarez, Mexico; I’ve slept in the Amazon, hiked five thousand feet in elevation, and managed to film anything my producers have asked of me as a DP. Looking for the projects that want to go above and beyond.
Now shifting more towards directorial work, I am currently directing three independent documentary projects alongside my freelance work as a doc DP and narrative Gaffer.
