Hello,

Based in the Chicago area, I’ve been behind the lens since 2005 (starting with my parents' camera) and working professionally since my first paid gig in 2011. My career is built on a fascination with how light defines a picture. With a Bachelors in Video Production and Filmmaking, I’ve spent over a decade as a Camera Operator and Gaffer for everything from short films to feature-length movies.

I bring that same cinematic standard to every project—whether it's the high-octane energy of a concert, the precision of product photography, or the intimate moments of a wedding or Quinceañera.

My Style I’ve always been drawn to vivid colors—life is full of them, so why mute them? I prefer a look that is vibrant and true to life without feeling over-processed. My work is bright, intentional, and full of character.

At the end of the day, I’m an easy-going person who loves bringing a creative spark to the set. My background in design is the foundation of my work, ensuring that every frame I capture is well-composed, balanced, and visually solid.
