ABOUT

From the gothic horror of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities to the luminous period drama of Mona Lisa Smile, the kinetic action of the Purge franchise to the musical soul of Sparkle.

Before the DP chair: a decade as premier Steadicam operator. His collaboration with Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown produced the SkyCam, now a fixture of live sports worldwide.
