BRIDGING ANALOG PRECISION WITH AI-DRIVEN CREATIVITY.
Exploring the creative power of AI has opened new doors for me, but my approach is always rooted in traditional cinematography. Every project balances structure and spontaneity–whether I’m behind a lens or crafting prompts, I shape visuals into refined, immersive experiences.
Cinematography & Film Skills
CAMERA OPERATOR:
My background in cinematography is built on a foundation of hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment, including Canon, Sony, Fuji, Panasonic, Hasselblad, RED, and Blackmagic cameras. From setting precise aperture and shutter speeds to working with prime lenses, each project is carefully tailored to meet cinematic standards.
CERTIFIED COLORIST:
“Each tone counts. The overall mood tells the story.” As a certified color grader in DaVinci Resolve, I bring a subtle, deliberate approach to every project. I ensure that each frame feels alive and cohesive, balancing color and contrast to convey mood and narrative. My expertise extends to pre-editing workflows, timeline assembly, and precision film edits, delivering polished and visually compelling results.
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE:
I have extensive experience with industry-standard software, including Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Avid Media Composer and DaVinci Resolve, allowing me to tackle every stage of post-production with precision. From color grading to sound design, I bring a holistic understanding of the post-production process. Beyond software, I provide technical consulting, design custom equipment packages, and manage complex workflows.
AI & Generative Imaging Skills
SEEING THROUGH THE LENS OF EXPERIENCE:
My approach to AI visuals is grounded in years behind the camera. Whether I’m adjusting aperture or writing prompts, I treat each image with the same care—thinking in light, texture, and intention. It’s not about choosing between analog or digital—it’s about using both to tell stronger stories.
CRAFTING CINEMATIC EMOTION:
I bring a filmmaker’s eye to digital creation, using classic techniques like film grain, lighting control, and composition to build visuals that feel tactile and emotionally grounded. The goal is always the same: to create images that don’t just look good, but feel like they were captured, not made.
GUIDED BY INTUITION, SHAPED BY CRAFT:
Working with AI isn’t just technical—it’s instinctive. Every prompt is approached like setting up a scene: what’s the mood, the framing, the atmosphere? I use structure to give ideas form, and intuition to bring them to life—bridging precision and imagination frame by frame.
