Cinematography
Over two decades of visual storytelling through narrative film, documentary work, and institutional content creation under the mentorship of industry professionals.
Claiborne Avenue Productions
Under the direction of Albert J. Moten, Jr., Claiborne Avenue Productions has been a cornerstone of professional filmmaking in New Orleans for over 20 years. Moten's credits span Hollywood productions including 12 Years a Slave (2013) and Now You See Me (2013), bringing a level of craft and discipline that has defined the production house's approach to every project.
Working as camera operator and editor at Claiborne Avenue, I gained hands-on experience with professional cinema workflows — from blocking and lighting through to color grading and delivery. This mentorship under Moten has shaped a disciplined, narrative-first approach to visual storytelling that carries through every frame.
Tulane Freeman School
As a videographer for the A.B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University, I produced digital marketing content that served one of the top-ranked business schools in the South. This work included short-form promotional videos, faculty interviews, event coverage, and social media content designed for engagement across multiple platforms.
The institutional environment demanded a different kind of discipline: tight turnaround times, brand consistency, and the ability to tell compelling stories within strict creative guidelines. Every deliverable balanced the school's premium positioning with authentic student and faculty narratives.
