I’m a San Francisco Bay Area based Director of Photography / Cinematographer specializing in documentaries, commercials and music videos.
You can see my recent work on the Netflix documentary series “Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam,” which debuted as the #1 TV show on Netflix. You can also see my work in the six-part Apple TV+ documentary series, “K-Pop Idols.” May 2025 will see the release of another documentary I shot, “Who Is Michael Jang?” on PBS’s Independent Lens.
On the commercial side of things, I’ve been honored to work with clients including Apple, Square, Google, Pixar, Target, Facebook, Molekule, Microsoft, Kraft, Intel, Levi’s, Method, Uber, Nest, Casper, One Medical, PBS, ESPN, Fox Sports, Complex, Nowness, Pandora and YouTube.
Over the years I’ve also been fortunate to shoot and collaborate with some of my favorite musicians, including Future Islands, FKA Twigs, Moses Sumney, Sylvan Esso and Toro y Moi.
