What I bring to the Table
Experience
As a local sports and news photographer based in the Long Beach Area, I have already shot courtside at several CSULB events, including multiple NCAA Division I Volleyball Matches. I have experience leading and working with others in my previous role as a director of videography and in my current role as a photo/video manager at Forest Home Camps.
Quality & Efficiency
While I am always looking for ways to improve my photography skills, I already have an established workflow that focuses on delivering the best quality photos in a time-sensitive environment. Often time news publications and schools need content in a pinch, and I’m here to fill that need.
Storytelling
I am all about using lighting, colors, and composition to tell stories though my photographs. Sporting events are packed with emotion, and I love being present in those moments to capture intense and exciting moments. Combining my hard technical skill with an artistic yet accurate depiction of the action is my jam.
Technical Skills
As a product of the CSULB College of Business, I have extensive technical knowledge stemming from my B.S. in Management Information Systems. I love leveraging my knowledge of photo/production equipment to choose gear that best fits the job at hand. I use my knowledge of information technology to secure backups of my footage, as well as accelerating my editing workflow.
Portfolio
