Work outside of cinematography: product reels, event recaps and photography.
Lit sit-down interviews and documentary coverage: framing, key and background light, and consistent skin tones across a full day of subjects.
Cinematic shorts and trailers, from blocking the scene to the final grade.
I grade and edit in DaVinci Resolve, so I shoot knowing exactly where the image is going.
