About

I started as a camera assistant on documentary sets, building cameras, running cable and watching how experienced cinematographers place a light. Today I operate second camera on large corporate documentaries.

Alongside that I direct AI commercials for brands. The tools are new, but the decisions are the ones I make on set: where the light comes from, what the lens sees, and what the frame leaves out.

Available for crew calls as a camera operator or camera assistant, and for AI commercials.
