In the past five years I've worked on a wide array of projects as a Steadicam Operator: corporate videos, live concert shoots, commercials, music videos, many short films, and a few features. I’ve continued to be heavily involved in Dance Documentation (both photo and video). I’m posting production stills, photography work, and a modicum of commentary on my Smugmug site.
