I film the wood industry across the world, moving between forests, mills, and the people who bring it all together. What draws me in most is creating images that spark curiosity—moments that make you pause and wonder: who is this person, what’s their story?
Projects like these, especially those tied to humanitarian work, ask more of me—physically and emotionally. Not everyone feels comfortable in front of a camera, and I get that. I do my best to bring a calm, open energy, but trust takes time. Patience is everything.
These shoots are usually small, lean operations, which means I carry all my own gear and adapt to whatever conditions come my way—often extreme weather, long days, and sensitive, deeply human subject matter.
And honestly, this is exactly why I got into this industry.
I’m always seeking projects that tell unique perspectives and stories that challenge our perceptions about the world. These trips help ground me and keep me focused on why I got into the film industry in the first place. Despite cultural differences, people around the world are all very much the same.
