I have been working as a cinematographer on documentaries, TV series, music videos, branded content, and corporate and commercial videos since 2010. I have traveled to over 25 countries working as a video journalist and director of photography for the Emmy Award-winning “VICE” shows. My work has featured heavily on HBO, Showtime, and Hulu, and has been broadcast on NBC, A&E, BBC, Comedy Central, History Channel, Viceland, and Netflix, among other networks.  In addition to my work focused primarily on the visual aspects of production, I have experience working as a producer, field producer, and editor on various TV series, commercial campaigns and corporate content, as well as documentary projects.

I have also worked at the development and pre-production stages, to help interpret great ideas and goals into actionable plans detailing exactly HOW a video project or TV series will be created on a technical level. From shooting and lighting style, composition, scene coverage, to time and budgetary considerations. This process informs the team during pre-production as well as crews in the field or studio. It helps guide production towards a cohesive feel— most importantly, one that aligns with the core objectives of a brand or client, showrunner, agency, or multiple stakeholders, while facilitating the creation of high-quality work that is on-brand, on budget and on schedule.

After moving back to Seattle from Brooklyn and settling in with my new family, I’ve launched a production company, FAST FRIENDS MEDIA. Our approach is centered around creating compelling, high-quality content that puts the story first—because that’s how we believe we can best connect with an audience. Whether crafting a purpose-built narrative to drive customer engagement, a campaign to wow audiences with gorgeous content for their socials, or finding and channeling a cinematic quality in the seemingly ordinary, we can help elevate your next project and deliver excellence.

We have established an incredible talent pool with whom we have built relationships with over years of work in our industry, both locally and around the world. This enables a no-nonsense, low overhead approach that ensures the highest quality work unburdened by the fixed costs of our competitors. In essence, we can do more with less.
