I’ve shot for dozens of directors over the last 25 years. The collaboration process is energizing and rewarding. I am a people pleaser. I want the people I am working for to be happy and satisfied with my work. The greatest compliment is to be called back to work again.
I’ve received more than 30 awards as a director of photography. I am comfortable shooting documentary style, set work in a studio or table top.
Of course, the crew is largely responsible for how projects ultimately look. My job is to make sure that everyone understands the shot requirements and has the right tools to do their jobs. If they look good, then I look good and then my clients look good. Then I get called back.
As I said, that’s important to me.
