Corporate Assignments

I work with corporations producing, shooting and editing informational videos, as well as interviews with corporate executives and employees for a wide range of internal and web applications.

Interviews

We all shoot interviews.  I take pride in doing them very well. I’ve shot interviews with an amazingly diverse group of men and women, from US presidents, senators, foreign heads of state, corporate leaders, astrophysicists, Wall Streeters, dirt farmers, musicians, actors and a US Supreme Court judge. I’ve assembled a lighting package that allows me to work in any environment to produce beautiful and compelling images.

Network Television

I spent 14 years as a freelance DP for Good Morning America, The Today Show,  NBC Nightly News, ABC World News Tonight, CBS Sunday Morning, Dateline, Nightline and 20/20. I shot single and multi camera interviews, live shots and short documentaries relating to major national and international events. My work there earned an Edward R. Murrow Award, one of the highest accolades in the news business.
