Sometimes the best way to communicate what we do is through images. As you browse my website, take a few moments to let your eyes linger on the photographs. You might be amazed to learn that most of these photos were taken with a cell phone. The others were taken with a Canon and Nikon. Can you guess which are cell phone photographs?

Video Samples

Today, everyone has a video or photo of something, With the advancement of cell technology, feauture music videos and indie films are shot using a cell phone. These are some of the videos I have shot using cell and Canon cameras. From events to offices, I see angles and bring forth a look that is not expected. I also create graohics using CS, and AI. There is an example of some of my work below.
