I’m a cinematographer and director based in Atlanta, Georgia. I grew up in the mountains of Colorado taking pictures of elk and birds and pretty mountain sunsets with my little Kodak point-and-shoot camera. They weren’t great, but I loved doing it, and I figured if I kept at it long enough I might get good some day. 20-odd years and a few Emmy awards later, and I still have that same mentality. What I love most about filmmaking is that there’s really no end to how much you can learn and grow. It’s like playing jazz—no matter how much you practice, there’s always something new and surprising that pops up on the day that makes you want to chase a brand new thread. I’ve been blessed to be able to shoot many high-caliber projects in both the documentary and narrative spheres over the course of my career, and I think my shooting style draws influence from both of those worlds. I try to intentional with every shot, have a reason for the choices I make, and—most of all—never be boring.
