I light the frame on set, finish it in the grade and carry the same eye into stills, so every image holds one deliberate look from first setup to final delivery.

Background
About
I'm a Toronto-based cinematographer, colorist and photographer. My work spans narrative short films, commercial promos, documentary and virtual production, alongside runway, studio and dance photography.
On many projects I both shoot and grade, so lighting and color are planned together rather than stitched at the end, and I bring the same eye to the edit when a project calls for it. My credits include Studio Serno Productions, Ceres Productions and virtual production work at George Brown College. I collaborate closely with directors, brands and creative teams to make imagery that feels deliberate and holds attention.
