Why me as Director of Photography? While my main focus is cinematography and precision imagemaking, my ultimate goal is finding ways with brands and directors to connect images together to tell stories. My extensive post-production background includes editing and color for beauty brands and documentary stories. This has honed my practice in looking for where the imagery supports the story and displays talent in the best form possible - through luminous lighting, strong composition, and camera movement.
Experience: I’ve worked on projects for various L’Oréal brands that include skincare and cosmetics over the past several years, each calling for a unique blend of elements. Here are a few:

Storytelling: What I love about this project is the storytelling aspect. Compelling stories are what connect and draw audiences in. I’ve worked with both celebrity talent and everyday people to help bring their experiences and stories to life on screen. Capturing b-roll and hero moments of talent are core elements of documentary and vlog style work, which I aim to capture key moments for in order to supplement the main story being told. I’m always looking for how small details can add to a story.
