Concept
Before the camera comes out: what do I want the viewer thinking when it ends. Both things come out of that idea, the photo and the video. Without it, the rest is decoration.
I direct photography and video for companies and personal brands that need to be taken seriously.
I started out taking photographs and I still take them.
Everything else comes from there: understand why a single frame works and you understand why a whole campaign works.
I run projects end to end — concept, plan, shoot, edit, color and delivery.
Not out of a need for control: a project rarely breaks on the shoot, it breaks at the seam between one stage and the next.
I mostly work with businesses that are already good at what they do and don't look it from the outside.
That isn't fixed by posting more; it's fixed by saying who you are before you open your mouth.
And yes, I use artificial intelligence daily: in the edit, in the admin, in the boring parts.
Not to do the same old thing faster, but to get sooner to what actually matters.

Plan, crew and budget. A single day that covers the whole campaign: stills and motion on the same day, without duplicating crews or invoices.
I direct with one eye on the monitor and one on the person in front of me. I shoot stills and film without switching criteria: half the job is making them comfortable; the other half shows on their face.
Selects and retouching, edit, color in DaVinci and delivery in every format you'll actually use. This is where a competent piece becomes a good one.
If you've read this far, it's because you've got something in mind.
Tell me about it.
