Colorist Reel 2025
I’m a DP, editor, and colorist with a background in dynamic visual storytelling and full-service video post-production. My 5 years of experience behind the camera and in the editing bay have helped me develop a solid understanding of the entire video production process (from storyboards to final delivery), a sharp eye for color, a nuanced approach to visual storytelling, and the ability to catch details most others would miss.
Having worked across commercial, documentary, narrative, and editorial projects — in both film, video, and photography — I’m comfortable in everything from lean crew run-and-gun doc-style projects to more involved, multi-day stylized and post-heavy projects. I edit and color exclusively in DaVinci Resolve, with additional experience in all mainstream NLEs and leverage tools like Dehancer, Izotope, Frame.IO, the Adobe Creative Suite, and more to get the most out of the images I create and projects I manage. On set, I’ve worked with all major camera manufacturers, Aputure lighting setups (and loads of natural light), and have led small crews across a variety of fast-paced projects.
My work leans into grounded, emotionally driven visuals with a strong emphasis on tone and texture. I’m drawn to scenes that feel honest and real. I approach each project with a balance of intuition, technical precision, and creative collaboration.
In addition to my technical background, I pride myself on clear, collaborative communication and the ability to work closely with directors, producers, and clients to help bring their vision to life. Whether I’m working remotely or on set, I understand the importance of being responsive, organized, and solution-oriented throughout every phase of production. I don’t just see myself as a cog in the wheel of production, but as a creative partner in the project.
I’d love the opportunity to bring that same energy and dedication to your project. Let’s talk!
