What’s the point? What's the goal of telling a story? Some might think storytelling is simply for entertainment or relaxation, but I think it’s bigger than that. For me, the pinnacle of storytelling is immersion, when immersed I learn, empathize, and I can even make sense of my own life by watching my favorite characters overcome obstacles, and in the end claim what’s truly important to them.
Hi I’m Brian, a cinematographer, but more importantly, a storyteller. I’m the person you hire to invite your audience into an immersive experience through beautiful imagery that not only astonishes the eye but enhances your story when words aren’t enough.
I want the best for your film and that’s why I’ve spent countless hours harnessing particles of light into the right lens and combining the result with story-driven movement. When you need a cinematographer who cares more about the audience experience than the latest and greatest camera gear, send me a message and we can pursue the art of immersion together.
What people are saying

"Brian adds a higher level of production value to my shoots. I've shot with him in Saudi Arabia, Italy, and all over the US and when I review the footage at the end of the day, I feel like the production gets that much bigger."
Bryan Storkel, Producer/Director - HBO’s State of Play

"Brian is an extremely talented DP with an extraordinary eye as well as a talent for lighting. Balancing light with composition, Brian can find beauty in locations where it isn't readily apparent. As an added bonus, he's a pleasure to work with!"
Hilary Sparrow, Senior Executive Producer at Microsoft

“I’ve known Brian for years. He's always been good, but keeps getting better. It’s been a pleasure and an honor to work with him over the years and I look forward to shooting with him for many years to come.”
Daniel Bitter, Producer at Stept Studios
about brian
I’ve been filming with cameras since I was a kid. From Back to the Future fan fiction videos to stop-motion Lego adventures, framing-up and telling stories have been a part of my life since before I could pronounce the word “cinematography”.
And now, after working on thousands of projects, filming in 18 countries, and slinging photons, metal, and glass for 16 years, my craft has become second nature - but I haven’t cut the take there, not even close.
Through previsualization, tactical communication, and cooperation with the AD, I’ve learned to prioritize the schedule, and at the same time, have fun executing on the overall vision. I can’t wait to help out on your next project!
