I follow light the way some folks follow hunches—chasing how it lands on a face, a windshield, a quiet moment about to disappear. The camera’s just how I get closer, ask better questions without saying much. I’ve filmed artists who bend time into paint or concrete—Howardena Pindell, Maya Lin, Eamon Ore-Giron. I’ve shot music videos that play out like internal dialogue and narrative films that lean into the strange poetry of everyday life. Spent time living out of a van, making short docs about people chasing freedom on the open road. And I’ve worked in South Sudan, where the stories are somehow both life-affirming and soul-crushing. Whether it’s a branded doc, a portrait, or something that defies the label, I try to keep it honest and a little beautiful. That’s the work: catching something real before it slips away.
