About

My first formative impressions of the world of cinema was created by Boris Kaufman’s Oscar-winning black & white cinematography in On The Waterfront, together with Marlon Brando’s tour de force performance. My interest in filmmaking was nurtured at a small town cinema where my girlfriend worked as the candy girl. I spent all my free time there, seeing the phenomenal American Revival of the 70’s, the 60’s New Wave films of Truffaut, Fellini, Kurosawa, Kubrick and Leone. I was inspired to find a way of life behind the camera.

 I used the backroads, via a three-year stint at UC Berkeley. A one-year-sabbatical turned into five years of traveling across the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia, where I was accepted into the prestigious Australian Film, Television and Radio School in Sydney. After graduating from AFTRS Masters Program in Cinematography, I assisted and operated for world-class cinematographers Laszlo Baranyai HSC, ACS, Steve Windon ASC, ACS and Dion Beebe ASC, ACS while developing a career as a DP shooting short films, music videos, feature films, documentaries and commercials. I am a dedicated, passionate and fast DP with a distinct cinematic, poetic style and have built a global network of directors and producers.
