I have always felt a need to express my creativity whether it be through music or visual art. I spent years as a musician, but even before music I remember the satisfaction of capturing life’s meaningful moments through the eye of a lens. My very first polaroid camera, circa 1974, sits proudly on top of a bookcase in my office, reminding me that anything of quality is worth keeping. Never could I have imagined then, that my early fascination with a simple polaroid would turn into a passionate career in capturing stories!
I have spent my entire professional career creating, producing and perfecting the art of media. Having spent over a decade in the music industry I know the in’s and out’s of what it means to be involved in the entire process of creating, planning, producing and delivering a project from start to finish. The care, nurturing and hard work that I put into creating a project is always reflected in the final results.
So what does a cinematographer actually do? Good question! A cinematographer, also known as Director of Photography or DP, is mainly responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image or shot. In other words, it’s the job of the DP to make it look good. And I thrive on that. Of course I enjoy being a part of the whole creation of a project but I love being able to take a vision and making it a reality. It’s what I enjoy doing and what I hope and pray to continue to do.
I’m married with a beautiful little girl and I love them both dearly. I’m definitely a gear head which drives my wife crazy and 70′s love songs are a guilty pleasure of mine.
