Festivals and Events have been a large part of my photography and videography journey thus far. Along with camera operation as a freelance for many working studios across the Midwest.
As I continue to grow and learn, more opportunities to work on teams, explore commercial sets, documenting dynamic scenes, and developing narratives has become more prevalent in my portfolio.
Over this past year, I have traveled to Todos Santos Mexico to work on set for a documentary telling the tales of a group of musicians changing the lives of the citizens of a quant small town utilizing music as their catalyst.
You can also see photos of me featured doing behind the scenes footage for David Pierce Media, within the Inibi Studios Collective.
