I envision myself as a visual artist, using technical skills and a creative mindset, to create encaptivating images that last. Focusing my talents on videography I believe that there is always a moment to be captured and there’s always a story to be told. I am creatively influenced by the works of Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Damien Chazelle, Bradford Young and many more. The ability to draw an emotion out from an audience through a screenplay, is something I have been captivated with ever since I first picked up a camera. I believe that creating a story through visual cues is the ultimate form of storytelling. It is the final form of art.
