It’s been a real journey working on video content as well as working as a full time photographer. It adds an element of story telling and narrative that I miss as a photographer sometimes.
Videographer
Video Production at Iona University
Working on a new video for the alumni association at Iona University. It was a fairly involved setup for a speaking head video, but a second camera and backup audio feels like the best way to get the best final results.
Photographer turned Videographer
I’ve been working on video for a few years now so it’s great to be working more on short video projects
Bluestone Lane Video
As you may know, working as a videographer is relatively new for me, I’ve been creating video content for only the past 18 months for clients. Having the opportunity to shoot some latte art for Bluestone Lane was really a pleasure.

NYRP Sherman Creek Video
Working as a photographer has been my main source of income for the past 15 years, but recently I’ve really focused on making moving images, or videos and I’m so happy that NYRP have asked for more content like this. Setting up a Sony A9 in Sherman Creek with a lavalier microphone and a small DJI Mini 2 drone is really all I need to shoot this content. If you need a quick short for social media or to promote you’re brand I’d love to work on it.

Working on more Video Projects
I’ve been shooting videos for clients for a couple of years, but often I’m handing over the editing or not being completely involved in all aspects of production. This is my first full shoot and edit solo and I’m pretty happy with the result. Theres definitely more work to be done and more learning always, but thats the joy of learning new skills. With my drone footage and a couple of well placed mics, I think it all came together pretty well.
