I’ve been a Los Angeles based camera operator for Film/TV/Commercials/Music Videos for over 30 years. I started my career shooting hundreds of music videos for artists as varied as Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Prince, to Green Day, Blink 182, REM, Weezer, and The Offspring, to No Doubt, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus, to Snoop Dogg, Jaz-Z, and Lil Wayne, to The Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, Boys II Men, and 98 Degrees…and everything in between. If you watched MTV and VH1 in the 90s and early 2000s, there's a good chance that many of the images you remember were framed by my hand.
My career naturally shifted to feature films and television around 2005, and I’ve shot feature films like Tropic Thunder, Inception, Iron Man 3, Fantastic Four, Ender’s Game, Water for Elephants, Evan Almighty, Wonder Woman 1884, and TV shows like Breaking Bad, Ray Donovan, Animal Kingdom, and Star Trek Picard. Along the way, I’ve worked with several Emmy and Oscar-winning and nominated directors and directors of photography, allowing me to hone my craft and learn framing and lighting from some of the best visual storytelling minds in the world.
During the months-long SAG (actors) and WGA (writers) strikes a couple of years ago, I started looking for a creative outlet for my time, something to keep my eye sharp, while allowing me the freedom to showcase the world as I see it. Concert photography was a natural fit, and the associated headbanging that went with it was an added bonus.
Fast forward to today. I still work for the studios, but I’m always looking for opportunities to photograph bands on tour whenever I have a break between projects. Please look at the photos on the site, and give me a call or send me a text at 661-904-4788 to see if I’d be a good fit for your next show or tour.
