Cinematographer in New York

The city taught me speed. Docs in the boroughs, TVCs on stage, everything in between.

Shot here

My NY Emmy came from this city. Lifeline: A Doctor's Commitment to 9/11 First Responders.

Feature documentaries too. Minted premiered at Tribeca and went to Netflix. Not Going Quietly took the SXSW Audience Award and went to Hulu. Both directed by Nicholas Bruckman at People’s Television.

Then the commercial and branded work: Sony Music, Purina, Zarbee's, Bio True, Ernst & Young and The Martin Agency, shot across NYC locations and stages.

The commercial side has its own page: commercial cinematographer in New York.

A deep bench of NYC crew. ACs, gaffers, and grips I've worked with for years, ready on short notice.
