I am a cinematographer, photographer & lighting designer from a small town in New Jersey. My love for cinema and photography developed at a young age, and at sixteen I began to take dance photographs of my pre-professional peers, taking after my Grandfather, a black and white stills photographer. In college and abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, I found a passion for the formal and thematic elements of international cinema. 

 

To this day, I'm drawn to stories that explore personal identity, sexuality, grief, how history shapes us, and how the images we choose to share are able to emotionally affect an audience. They are, at least, how I make sense of the world.

 

I was a 2022 recipient of the Panavision New Filmmaker Program Grant and my work has been selected for screening at LA Shorts Fest, the Oscar-qualifying Cleveland International Film Festival, and New Jersey International Film Festival. In 2022, I photographed a short documentary, Danceable, which was the 2022 Award Winner at the DGA Student Film Awards, and was shortlisted for a Yugo Student BAFTA. I am a first place recipient of the 2023 School of Cinematic Arts First Look Award for Documentary Cinematography.

 

I am currently based in Los Angeles and available for work as a gaffer, photographer, or director of photography.
