I am an experienced director of photography, gaffer and sometimes producer.
As an owner-operator I am well-equipped to problem-solve and create beautiful images on corporate, commercial and non-fiction video production anywhere. I’ve shot a wide range of projects in the last twenty years, including commercials, a ton of interviews, narrative films and live music. I can work solo or with any size crew, and I’m local from Seattle to Portland.
In the Pacific Northwest I’ll bring my own state-of-the-art camera, grip and lighting gear and I’m available to travel worldwide.
FAA Part 107 licensed drone operator too.
Please call/text 360-888-2007 or email for more information. Join me on Instagram for BTS pics.
More fun today with the teal seamless 🙂

Training video production for the public library. Greenscreen in a room with uncontrollable daylight spill but it wasn't too bad.

I have a feeling these new #BlackmagicDesign #Pyxis cameras might be the perfect indoor interview rigs. I got the locking EF mount version since I have a case full of #SigmaArt EF lenses. Same great BMD colors plus the benefits of a full-frame sensor. Onboard SDI, TC and TRS audio connections keep the setup simple. I added a #Tilta V-mount adapter so I don't need BPU batts. Thanks to Leo for standing-in.

Good times, good people, happy to be working on what the producer called an "AV" shoot. One light, locked off low bitrate HD rec709 is sometimes all they want. Dusted off the BMD Video Assist recorders for screen captures too.

Nice to have a little work this week!
Love the big #intellytech LiteCloth3 for keying and their FastFrame for passive fill / bounce. Been happily using the #StageLightApp with #lumenradio MoonLite to control via CRMX.

A couple of BTS snaps I just got from Charlie Tomaras (who is not on IG) from the early 90's on Surviving the Game. I was a camera dept PA doing video playback, and making espresso from the back of the camera truck while we shot in the forest near Wenatchee. Great cast and crew except for Gary Busey.
