I work with movement, performance, and documentary, filming in a way that responds to breath, rhythm, and form. My camera work is relational and active, shaped by what’s happening in the room rather than imposed on it.
I began filming in 2011 while documenting Vancouver’s underground music scene and helping run a DIY performance space. That early work shaped an approach rooted in proximity and responsiveness. Since then, my practice has expanded into internationally recognized projects across dance, live performance, and documentary film. Each project is a collaboration, built through trust between individuals, camera, and audience.
My work has been featured on Netflix, CBC, Democracy Now, and in numerous print publications. Across formats, the goal is the same: to create images that feel present and alive beyond the frame.
