Field notes
From camera prep in Dubai to filming Jetman
I started as a prep technician at Filmquip Media. The path to Jetman ran through camera systems, aerial work, and learning what an image needed before choosing the equipment.
About me
I've spent twenty years behind the camera — AFI, the camera department, 16mm and 35mm, color workflows I built when the off-the-shelf path wasn't enough. The technique was never the point. The point is the image: light held a certain way, a frame that keeps you in it.
This page is the overview — credits, stills, the work you can click through. The journal is where I write about the craft: how a shot gets made, what I'm seeing, what I'm learning. If you want more than the portfolio, start there.

CraftGoing back to school after years on setI entered AFI in 2017 and graduated with the class of 2019. Going back as an adult meant bringing practical camera experience into a place where I could examine what I wanted to do with it.
CraftWhy I want a photograph I can finish myselfFrom choosing a subject to deciding on a print, I want a continuous relationship with an image. Large format is making the practical gaps in that ambition very clear.
