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 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.

  • Cinematography Reel A few favorite shots from recent projects. Got a project? Let's talk!
  • Shooting something fun and different in 8K 9:16 #blackmagicdesign #ursa12k #amaran #intellytech
  • Getting a few miles in with David @foxwilmarphoto before the temps get too high this weekend.
  • Back today from @milestylercrowl first moto-camping adventure. Two days heading south along the PCH from Crescent City to Guerneville including the Lost Coast, a quick morning jaunt through Sonoma wine county, and then high-tailing it back home on the slab.
  • The #fujifilm #xh2s and the #deitymicrophones THEOS wireless system are a great, lightweight combo for #handheld field #cinematography! The XH2S camera can be switched to accept a LINE level signal from the D2RX receiver, thereby bypassing the camera's meh-quality mic preamps. The audio signal is extremely low-noise and the combo sounds amazing. I've been using the THEOS system since they became available and haven't had any problems. Not to mention that the XH2S #camera has #IBIS and can shoot high bitrate #FLog2 in 10-bit 6.2k. Grading it in Resolve is super easy, and the 3:2 aspect ratio leaves plenty of room for reframing and stabilization. It's nice to a have such a compact reliable rig. These BTS shots by @foxwilmarphoto are from a recent @mototrek.videos shoot.
  • The ol' van makes a great 4x8' bounce card shooting @mototrek.videos in the forest outside of Flagstaff, AZ last week. #fujifilm #xh2s #deitytheos #husqvarna #norden901 #moskomoto

Exploring easter WA and OR with David Fox for a couple of days. Always beautiful this time of year when the grass is still green. Chilly tents at night though. #ktm #790adventure

Took a proper jaunt on the #790adventure through Capitol State Forest this warmish February afternoon and there's no snow to be seen anywhere except in the most shadowed nooks. Clear skies with Mounts Rainier, Adams and St Helens all in plain sight. The usual cold and wet returns tomorrow, so it was good while it lasted :)

Day two of this corporate training video production. Basic camera coverage with several scripts and outfit changes. We planned to shoot in-sequence but the versatile actors were able to change wardrobe and character so quickly that I could keep the camera setups to a minimum and get the day done fast with a single lighting setup.
