About My Work
I am a photographer and a cinematographer. As a photographer, I love finding an excuse to go out and photograph cityscapes and landscapes. I enjoy shooting because of the process and experience from beginning to end. I have been shooting film photography for the last three years because of the experience and how it slows me down. I wait for the decisive moment but I also hunt for the composition.
As for cinematography, I become a co-creator of what you see. Instead of searching for scenes. I aid in making them. I like to treat scenes similar to how I photograph and I photograph as if I am making my own scene. I like understanding the blocking and building the look from there. When I photograph I wait for the perfect frame and capture it. For both, sometimes you get something you are happy with and sometimes you get nothing but an experience.
