Film
As a director and cinematographer of documentaries, it takes great skill and patience. However, it is exciting to capture emotion and movement that creates a space for the audience to be part of the narrative.
It is essential to captivate truthful, engaging stories through the lens. For me, a critical part of filmmaking is choosing the right music, study art, architecture, and read to inform my choices for each project.
Photography
I wanted a horse when I was twelve years old. So my father bought me a camera and said, "now you can photograph horses." I fell in love with taking pictures- making magic and continue to capture the world around me with many different styles of cameras, such as 35 mm film cameras, plastic cameras, pinhole cameras, and 4x5 cameras. In addition, I work with the iPhone to document and play with instant gratification. Inspirations include Henry Cartier Bresson, Irving Penn, Flor Garduño, and Mary Ellen Mark.
