Based in Anchorage, Alaska, and Los Angeles, California, I’m a cinematographer crafting blue chip documentaries on nature and humanity.

From wilderness shoots to intimate human stories, I thrive in big crews, small crews, or solo missions, partnering with passionate teams to create premium visuals. 

As a Primetime Emmy award-winning cinematographer, I bring expertise as a director of photography, camera operator, and FAA Part 107-certified drone pilot with a night waiver.

My credits include shows on the BBC, Discovery, National Geographic, Nat Geo Wild, Animal Planet, Disney+, Facebook Watch, and numerous other platforms. 

My kit features Arri Alexa Mini, Canon C80, Canon R5C, Sony FX3s, DJI Mavic 3 Cine, Zaxcom wireless audio, and Cineo lighting.
