Big thank you to the best cast and crew out there for pulling off our live Twitch show 5GRV S1 @gamersontheroad. Everyone put in their all to make this show amazing.
Live production is hard. Special shout outs to my right hand, PM @_paige_louise_, the DP homie @themerlinshow, and my Co-EP partner in crime @louisbrownofficial. You all made my first Co-EP credit a great time.

One more @sleepingwithsirens video! We shot a *lot* for this video, from the pizza man running down the hallway, to an Alice in Wonderland room, to throwing a prisim in front of basically the entire performance - it was a blast!
Thanks as always to the team for putting up with me and KILLING it.

New work for Kia! This was a tough one. One day in LA, then the rest on South Padre Island in Texas. In TX it was all brutal exteriors during 100 degree days, plus we had to shut down early with positive COVID tests. Still managed to get it all done ✌️

This was a fun one! We shot Pizzana owner and chef @danieleuditi for @americanexpress. Two @arri Alexa Minis flipped 90 degrees to capture this vertical native spot with @angenieuxlenses EZ zooms for glass. Thanks to the whole team for making this look awesome and pulling it off!

MORE MUSIC VIDEOS! I'm so happy that this video I shot for @capitaltheatreband was just released. It was a long day at @popsicle.la to make this one. Tons of techno work, and the @prismlensfx Starburst filter was putting in the WORK on this one. We did lots of light effects with lekos, the @lightstarprofessional Luxed 12s, and some funky shots shooting the band's reflection in mylar. Love how it turned out.

It's rare that you get to shoot a music video for a band you actually listen to. I'm lucky enough that I got to shoot TWO videos for @sleepingwithsirens!
Our director wanted this to feel lo-fi and homemade for our "open mic night" setups, and then big and well produced for the main performance. He kept telling me to make the lighting worse for the open mic night 😂. Ended up shooting that stuff with just a C300 MkII on autofocus (!!) with the performance on an Alexa SXT with @atlaslensco anamorphics.

NEW REEL ALERT // It's been a long time coming, but I finally created a new reel from the ground up.
For years I just kept the same music and cut points, only switching out projects as they got stale. It's gotten to the point that the whole reel was stale, and at the advice of @codyebbeler I went about creating a new one from scratch.
I hope you like it. I hate picking out new music.

Today's the day! Proud of @jazzynicolecollins and all her work in launching @treeswiftjewelry - a new DTC jewelry company. It's been months of work leading up to this launch, and I'm excited to share this brand with the world.
I got to go a little out of my comfort zone and shot all the stills for the website, product shots and all that, but for the brand film @codyebbeler came onboard and we got to do our thing 😎
