About

Hello! I am a photographer and video editor from Southern California. In 2005, I graduated from UC San Diego with a bachelor of arts in film studies.

Today, I primarily work as a freelance senior video editor focusing on video game trailers. I’ve recently worked on campaigns for Elden Ring, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Halo, Tomb Raider, Destiny, and Destiny 2, as well as some Netflix shows such as The Punisher.

You can see my Editor Portfolio here.

If you want to work with me, please contact me.

About This Website

Directly after college, I started working as a videographer, cinematographer, and video editor, and I got into the tech side of photography and cinematography. A little over a decade ago, I started this photography blog to share my thoughts on camera gear, lenses, and camera bodies, producing reviews and impressions.

Being a gear nerd, I also started producing technical content, such as memory card buffer tests and accessory overviews, to share the gear I like with other photographers and help people find the best gear and accessories for their cameras. I was also the first website to compile comprehensive mirrorless lens lists, which keep track of all the official and third-party lenses for mirrorless camera bodies.

I’ve also built various technical calculators; one popular is the Shutter Speed to Shutter Angle Calculator.

You can also find me on the following platforms:

  • Instagram: I have two accounts, one more focused on Landscape Photography and one mainly focused on Street and Lifestyle Photography. I’m more active on the street photography account these days.
  • Youtube: I started a YouTube channel years ago to share photography tips and tricks with Lightroom, but unfortunately, I’ve been too busy with work to keep it active.
  • X (aka Twitter): I mainly use the X platform to track news and other photography-related content. It’s where I publicly keep notes about new lenses and what other photographers are doing.
  • Threads: Threads is where I share posts and my photography.
  • Pinterest: This is where I share photos from various camera and lens reviews.
