Valley Under Fire
Valley Under Fire is a short documentary inspired by the story and activism of Nate Vince, a Yosemite climber and former National Park Service employee who drew national attention after protesting the 2025 National Park employee layoffs. After hearing Nate’s story, I reached out and he invited me into the Valley to document this chapter of his life. Over four days in Yosemite, I filmed with Nate as he reflected on the layoffs, the community affected by them, and the deeper responsibility of protecting the places so many of us love. I shot, co-edited, and colored the film, working closely with Nate to tell a story that felt personal, grounded, and connected to the larger fight for public lands.
Wolf Tooth
CTRL AL DEL for Wolf Tooth Components began when Wolf Tooth came to us to tell the story behind their clipless pedals and the team that made it all happen. The goal was to highlight U.S. manufacturing while showcasing the versatility of the full pedal lineup. We focused our approach on going deep into the manufacturing process, capturing the grit, precision, and resilience behind both the team and the product. We handled it end to end - shoot, edit, color, motion graphics, and sound, delivering a feature short film, four vertical social cuts highlighting individual pedals, and a trailer for the full release.
Metrolink
This project for Metrolink began when an agency brought us on to DP a two-day shoot supporting their new brand refresh. The goal was to blend street-style visuals with the energy of busy trains and station platforms. We focused on a handful of hero subjects each day, treating them like street portraits while using extras to create layered movement through the frame. People crossed in front of camera, moments stayed imperfect, and organic vignettes were embraced to keep the visuals feeling lived-in. We handled DP and color, delivering color-graded b-roll stringouts from each day for use across a range of ads throughout the year.
Rumpl
For the launch of Rumpl’s new sleeping bag, I partnered with their in-house marketing team and creative director to create a suite of photo and video assets built for web, social, and paid ads. Shot over 12 hours in Idyllwild, CA, the production stayed lean and agile, using natural light, minimal crew, and a location that gave us quick access to alpine forest and camp scenes. As a DP, my focus was on crafting visuals that felt beautiful, purposeful, and true to the Rumpl brand: comfortable, capable and ready for everything. My role was DP, edit, color, motion design.
Smith
Smith Vert Pivlock was a quick, fast-turn project for Smith, who reached out to make a snappy, sub-30-second ad for a new sunglasses release. The brief was simple: create something unique, and do it in under two days. We leaned into the time crunch, shooting around LA and focusing on cycling sprint efforts for the high-energy moments, paired with slower, more precise product shots for contrast. To keep it from feeling like just another polished cycling edit, we layered in a voiceover to ground the piece in place and perspective. Slow shutter and in-edit effects helped tie transitions together and keep everything moving. We handled the project end to end, delivering a 30-second ad built to feel energetic, efficient, and distinct.
Coastal Collective
From Our Hands to Yours was a passion project created with Coastal Collective, a homegrown DIY surfboard shaper working out of his garage. We teamed up to document his story and the process of building boards by hand, rooted in family, craft, and doing something purely for the love of it. The goal was to highlight the heritage of working with your hands and the joy of making something others can genuinely enjoy. Shot with a blend of documentary storytelling and motion-driven camera movement, the film invites the viewer into a day in the garage and the rhythm of the work. We handled the project end to end. The finished film was an official selection at the 2025 Patagonia Film Festival.
Virgin Orbit
During my time in-house at Virgin Orbit, I documented countless launches, missions, and employee stories, helping capture the people and process behind building and flying rockets. A lot of my favorite work came from the motion design pieces and story-driven films we created around the teams making it all happen. I loved finding ways to translate complex aerospace work into visuals that felt human, energetic, and inspiring. Along the way, I had the chance to send cameras to space, help capture launch operations, and sharpen my approach to air-to-air photo and video work.
Wilderness
Wilderness Collective is an outdoor touring company focused primarily on motorcycle camping trips, built around adventure, presence, and time spent outside. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with them to document special weekends in the mountains, including this family trip filled with parents, kids, campfires, dirt roads, and the kind of simple moments that make these experiences stick. My approach is always to capture the joy of being together without distraction. This project was completed end-to-end by me.
Virgin Galactic
During my time with Virgin Galactic, I focused on the deeply human side of spaceflight: the lifelong dreamers, astronauts, engineers, families, and teams behind each mission. Much of the work centered on documenting people who had spent their lives imagining what it would feel like to go to space, then capturing the moment that dream became real. From the anticipation before flight to the emotion of stepping out of the spaceship afterward, these stories were less about the technology alone and more about what spaceflight means to the people who experience it. I loved finding the quiet, emotional moments inside such a massive milestone: the nerves, the joy, the disbelief, and the sense of perspective that comes from seeing Earth from above.
Specialized
Stumpjumper 15 was shot for Specialized. We went out with friend & local pro, Spencer Rathkamp to document a “new bike day.” We charged a few trails, had some laughs, and captured moments as they happened. The goal was to keep it authentic, not an ad or a testimonial, just a guy in his natural habitat genuinely enjoying the evolution of the most iconic bike in mountain biking. We handled the project end to end, delivering a two-minute piece.
