Dear Soon-to-be Client & Friend,

As an award winning, elephant riding, freelance Chicago Cameraman, I have been servicing quality producers, production companies and networks for 25 years. I'm one of your Top Five choices in Chicago for: Corporate Productions, Non-Fiction TV Shows and Documentaries. I’m fast, creative, tough and 100% reliable. I know the Chicago video production scene very well. Hire me and you won't worry about capturing the footage you need.

Please take a moment to learn how I can help you achieve the best images under the most trying of conditions. Unlike most cameramen, I have also produced, directed and edited, so I will always shoot with the “cut” in mind. My skills have developed by honing my craft shooting everything under the sun, all over the world, for the most demanding of clients.

I am fully insured, including Worker's Compensation. As a veteran of many challenging and extreme shoots I've made it through frostbite to sunstroke. I have a very eclectic background and have trained under the best. I work in many styles: from large crew and cast to fast moving documentary style projects and I bring as a lot of added value to your production team.

There’s no need to fly your favorite shooter into Chicago, I can easily match his style and save your budget. Approximately 50% of my business is shooting for out-of-towners and foreigners who want to stretch their budget by avoiding travel costs and hiring me locally. If I am booked for the shoot day(s) you need I will refer you to a worthy competitor since I know who the best Chicago videographers are.

I'm one of those lucky people who loves what they do: I love shooting and it doesn't matter what I'm shooting. There is a "flow" we often achieve as a team on a fast moving, physical, hand held shoot, to me it's a natural "high", an endorphin rush. That's why I will never burn out doing this. It's my favorite thing to do: shoot documentary style, hand held, enjoying the intensity of the moment, unimpeded by a script or actors, immersed in new subject matter and temporarily becoming a part of people's lives whom we would never have had a reason to meet. I call it "my documentary flow" (please Google Dr. Csikszentmihalyi).

Let me help you create or capture the footage you really want. If we have the pleasure to work together I will do my utmost to help you realize your vision. I believe in Dr. Wayne Dyer's saying: "Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change." My camera work will make your audience change the way they look at things.
