What I Offer
Creative, fine-art inspired photography and filmmaking is the antidote to the bland “coverage” most brands have come to deem as acceptable.
I offer the services to create that work.
Me and my team have the following abilities:
- Ideation and creative consulting
- Pre-production and producing services
- Onsite filmmaking and event capture
- Onsite and studio photography
- Full spectrum video post production, including GFX, sound and color.
- Drone videography
My Process
Your story isn’t just facts and figures. The work you do makes a difference. Connecting to this emotional spirit, why people should care, is the beginning of my process.
After a Discovery Call to discern your visual needs and intended impact, I determine what format of visuals would best pair well your creative needs. If you have the format in mind, I adapt the approach to make sure we’re building it in a uniquely visual and emotional way.
On set, I (and the expanded team I’ve had the pleasure of growing over the last decade) are mission oriented, dedicated to the craft until we are sure we have captured everything we need for the project to be a success.
And in the edit, whether photo or video, is where the real magic begins.
For video, I discern only the best imagery captured and weave a tapestry of stories from interviews or testimonials. Then, utilizing my background as a drummer, I’ll rhythymically pair it all, and I don’t stop editing until I give myself chills.
For photo, I craft each frame with the time, sensitivity, and care it deserves, until the subject is looking their best while maintaining a natural style.
Who I Serve
I collaborate with brands, events, and individuals that are serving others while making the world a better place.
From local intentional events to national brand campaigns, I’ve brought ideas to life for some of the most exciting brands on the planet today.
No matter your size, the work you’re doing has the potential for monumental impact, and together we can make sure your visuals properly represent the magic that you offer.
In awe of existance
MY STORY
I’ve always been enamored by the innate complexity of life, but music festivals were a gateway that exploded the spectrum of possibility for me.
Being challenged in that musical, technicolor arena exposed me to a hard truth: in the “normal” world, people are not living with an inkling of the expression, play, emotional intuition, or fun that we were capable of in this limitless life.
While I had been filming for years, the psychedelic playground of music festivals inspired me to pick up a photo camera. Hungry for a new creative challenge, the pursuit of telling complex experiences (worth way more than 1000 words) through elevated human emotion and a single moment in time has been the most entertaining chase of my life.
My psychedelically informed spiritual path allows me to go deeper; peel back the story’s onion to call out to the collective soul of humanity. It allows me to see the beautiful harmony of all things and live in complete awe of the world we live in.
