I've been shooting features, shorts, commercials, documentaries, and music in 2D and 3D, flat and 360°, on digital, film and tape for over 30 years.

My work work has won many awards, including Emmys, Addies and CINE Golden Eagles, and gotten high honors at many film festivals, including the Austin, New York, San Francisco and Montreal film festivals. I own lots of great gear (packed for travel, which I do a lot).

I believe that movies can reveal our common humanity and ennoble us. This subtly influences every frame that I shoot.
