I have a vast well to pull from.

I can help you beyond photography and camera: I can help design, direct, lead, and be a sounding board for your creative vision — whether we’re avoiding a blizzard, dodging hail, or shooting in perfect light for 30 blessed Icelandic seconds.

Or, if you just need an awesome assistant on set, I’ll be there even if there are wardrobe malfunctions on a mountain. (I’ve fixed worse with a C47 and some gaff tape.)

My visuals are story-driven and shaped by the environment they’re set in, moving between remote Icelandic terrain, backstage green rooms, artist campaigns, and brand shoots.

I love helping a story come to life. Contact me to start.
