My beginnings lie in photography.

While I’m known for my video work, photography is where I began my creative journey. It was through photography that I discovered my passion for capturing moments and developed my distinctive style. My understanding of light and innovative editing techniques have helped me stand out on social media.

If you’re interested in photo work, you can view a selection of my stills here.

My ability to creatively capture the right image ensures every shot is memorable.

Collaborative Concept Development

Together, we will craft a concept that truly represents your vision. This service not only includes creating videos and photos that unify the aesthetic of your website or social media platforms but also maintaining a consistent style that defines your identity. Additionally, I collaborate with various partners to develop a communication strategy that enhances the reach and impact of your content.

Platform-Specific Visual Content

I create visuals tailored to maximize reach on each platform:

Instagram:
My Instagram videos are designed to grab attention quickly. They are always less than 1 minute, intense, and vertical, perfect for catching eyes as people scroll through their feed. Options include short single videos, boomerangs, and specialized visuals for stories to prompt viewer engagement or share unique content.

Facebook:
For Facebook, I produce videos that are punchy and concise, usually no more than 3 minutes long. These are crafted to hold the viewer’s attention amidst the vast content on the platform.

Website/YouTube:
Videos for YouTube and your website can be longer and more detailed, tailored to your specific needs. These can also be adapted for sharing on Facebook to ensure a broader reach.
