This was an amazing moment to meet both Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, Picasso's grandson and art historian John Richardson and shoot an interview of them discussing the late artist's photography show at the Gagosian Gallery. I'm sure they won't find it as profound but I certainly did. The show was very extensive and wonderful as well. I produced and shot this piece.

An interesting figure to the pop music culture, it was fun to shoot him in his hotel room discussing all things photography. His show was really his album cover that was recently released. There was nothing particularly stunning about this production except that it was Moby and shows that along with people who aren't in the lime light, I make sure that everyone feels comfortable and I'm able to get great content out of each individual and make a good story.

This was a fun interview because we dealt with a translator to do the interview but she didn't translate word for word so we had to re-translate in order to create the edit. My assistants did a lot of the heavy lifting, shooting much of the b-roll and creating much of the edit while I derived the story we wanted to pull out from Murakami.

Shooting this piece was very interactive as the machines surrounded the entire space. Although the movement was being controlled by a computer system, the actions were random and had to be captured on the fly. We chose to shoot on a low light gain setting to add to the imagery and nature of the performance artwork.

It was a one-of-a-kind exhibition of a large amount of Donald Judd's 'Stacks'. In many instances it was a difficult shoot. How do you to show the things that were most interesting about the installation? Using a slider and some of the pieces' reflective nature, I was able to give the viewer a sense of being there.

While I was working in advertising there were many internal videos. It was a big deal that the TV Production Department was moving offices to an entirely new floor. They wanted everyone in the building to know and so commissioned me to create this video.

A Studio visit to Fred Tomaselli revealed a genuine practical artist. He loves who he is, where he is in Bushwick Brooklyn and loves injecting his perception onto what we see every day. He welcomed my presence when I shot him in the interview as well as when he went to work on his latest piece. I loved being able to bring out the intimacy and the genuineness of his humanity for this video.

One of the wonderful things I love about my work is being able to capture moments and turn them into a story. TJ Wilcox created a story of a year through film and used it to literally project his story and allow others to project theirs through space and time by viewing it.

Shot on the Sony FS700U, this piece lent itself to a high speed frame rate. Capturing the enormity as well as the individual experience of the installation was paramount to getting great selections for the edit.
