LATEST WORK

I’m a cinematographer, director, and lifelong collaborator who believes that storytelling has the power to build bridges and shift mindsets. I’m drawn to stories about the change-makers and the booty shakers, the overshadowed and the misunderstood. I’m drawn to exploring mental health, injustice, personal growth, and the realities at stake. I want to know how ideas are born, how decisions get made, and what moves people to act.

I grew up in New York, built a career in Colorado, and spent three years living in northern Spain with my wife, Jaime – a chapter that rewired how we see the world. Every new texture abroad was a reminder that the universe is vast and that curiosity is the only honest response to it.

Whether I’m on a concert stage, a documentary set, or a large commercial production, I’m always chasing something fleeting and rare: the moment when walls come down, truth surfaces, and my camera becomes invisible. If you’re present enough to embrace the moment, that’s where the best stories begin to unfold.

From commercial shoots in the USA to political documentaries throughout Europe, here are images from recent adventures around the world. Big thanks to all the subjects, collaborators, and clients who helped make these frames come alive!
