I'm a San Francisco Bay Area–based Director of Photography and Cinematographer, ICG Local 600, with a focus on documentaries, commercials, and music videos.
I approach my documentary work with humanity, empathy, and a deep passion for telling nonfiction stories in a cinematic way — seeking out the emotional truth in every frame. My recent projects include the Netflix docuseries Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam, which debuted as the #1 TV show on the platform, and the Apple TV+ series K-Pop Idols. My most recent documentary, Who Is Michael Jang?, premiered on PBS's Independent Lens. Other credits include Pixar and Disney+.
In the commercial world, I bring a high level of excellence to every production, blending technical acumen with creative problem-solving and a strong commitment to beautiful image capture. Based in Oakland, California, I've collaborated with brands including Apple, Google, Meta, Chime, Square, Microsoft, YouTube, Target, Uber, Intel, Kraft, Nest, Method, Molekule, One Medical, Pandora, Nowness, and Art Basel.
I've also had the pleasure of working with some of my favorite musicians, including Future Islands, FKA Twigs, Moses Sumney, Sylvan Esso, and Toro y Moi.
Available in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and worldwide.
