BTS & Social

I spent twelve years on the other side of the camera as a host at MuchMusic and E! News, so I know how to move around talent, publicists and a working set without slowing anyone down. On set I capture the stills, verticals and BTS moments that marketing and social teams actually need, delivered fast and organized for the edit.

Network Tests

Before a pilot shoots, networks need to see the cast in hair, makeup and wardrobe. I bring a full lighting setup to the stage or backlot, shoot the entire cast, and deliver edited, network-ready images fast. Recent: Single Parents (ABC).

On Assignment

Alongside production work, I've spent years photographing humanitarian stories, including documenting the refugee crisis across Greece and Serbia for International Medical Corps, and projects in Kenya, India and Bhutan.

About

I'm a photographer and content creator based between Los Angeles and British Columbia. I've shot unit stills, BTS and social content on more than 30 productions for FOX, The CW, ABC, CBS, NBC, TNT, TBS, truTV and HBO Max, from 9-1-1, The Orville and New Girl to All American, The Alienist in Budapest and Snowpiercer in Vancouver. Before that I was a television host and producer, earning three Daytime Emmy nominations with E! News. I'm available for episodic, feature and campaign work in LA, Vancouver and on location.
