## Services

### Filming *(On-location)*
Camera operation, composition, and lighting for commercial projects, short films, documentaries, and events. I shoot with purpose. Every setup is built around the story, not the gear.

### Editing
Assembly, pacing, and sound design that makes footage breathe. I work in Premiere Pro. Clean timelines, organized projects, and cuts that serve the narrative.

### Color grading
Colorist-level grading that gives your footage a distinct, consistent look. Whether you want cinematic warmth, cold precision, or a signature brand feel, I'll build a grade that holds across every cut.

### Motion graphics
Clean, purposeful motion design: title sequences, lower thirds, kinetic typography, and logo animations. No gratuitous effects. Just motion that serves the story.

## About

When I film, I always start with one question: what do I want the viewer to feel? The answer is almost always the same. I want them to feel like they were there.

That’s why I shoot handheld. Drones and gimbals can look polished, but polished isn’t honest. When you hold a camera in real life, your hands shake a little, and that small imperfection is what makes a moment feel true.

I also try to stay invisible while I shoot, because the moment someone notices a camera, they tense up, and you lose them. If a person isn’t comfortable, I don’t film them, and if I already did, it doesn’t make the final cut.

Editing is where the story really comes together. Music carries the pacing, slow, then faster, then easing off again, and I treat every sound with the same care. Even something small, like the pour of a drink, can pull you deeper into a moment.

When I color grade, I’m not chasing a cinematic look. I grade by skin tones, because if skin feels natural, everything else does too. That’s the whole point.

I want you to feel like you were there.
