I was only a child when the idea first came to me

About Me

I enjoy shooting almost anything really. I make a living though by combining usually a musical subject and yes, a motion-picture camera of some sort. Whether someone is shooting for me or I myself am behind the lens, capturing the art and essence of music with a camera is what interests me the most. I have always had the philosophy of being open minded when shooting an artist. Rather than create a scene, I tend to let the footage do the talking. However when a situation calls for a little impetus, I will certainly rise to the occasion. I've been really lucky to work with some unbelievably talented bands and artists over the years and always enjoy when a new opportunity comes my way...
