Chicago Camera Operator

About

Chicago Camera Crew and Video Production Services

I am a DP, Camera Operator, and Colorist in Chicago. I’ve worked on shorts, feature films, TV productions, and numerous commercial productions. My passion and skill set is in the image management pipeline from beginning to end. I thrive in environments where I can help execute a comprehensive and well-thought-out workflow, whether I’m working on set to achieve exposures that take into account the subsequent steps of the dailies/color grading pipeline, or as a Colorist creating dailies or bringing together the creative photographic decisions into a cohesive and finely tuned finished product. My formal education is in philosophy and literary theory, and all of my work is done out of a passion for the art of story telling and a belief that telling powerful stories is some of the most important work we can do. My background in large-format darkroom photography led to a love for and understanding of the modern digital workflow and the image management potential it has if used thoughtfully and consistently. I am willing to travel, and I own the following equipment,
