Production Guide Listing


Description

Mississippi-based Director of Photography/Cinematographer and Gaffer with 20+ years of experience across narrative, documentary, commercial, branded, corporate, and music video production. My work has taken me through production hubs including Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, and Atlanta. I am currently focused on story-driven DoP work for short films, features, documentaries, brand films, and music videos throughout Mississippi and the Southeast.


Special Skills & Experience

Experienced in cinematography, lighting, camera operation, and practical on-set problem solving. Extensive post-production experience helps inform creative and technical decisions during production. Comfortable working lean or with larger crews, shaping natural or controlled light, and supporting directors with story-first visual choices.
