Projects I've shot are featured below and cover documentaries, feature-length & short films, music videos, branded content, web-series and more. Although each individual projects determines its own stylistic shooting choices, my work draws heavily on light (colour), movement, and composition.

"OLG Playsmart" - Commercial

Educational commercial for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming association. Directed by Scott Drucker.
Agency - FCB Toronto

"Bit PLayas" - series

BIT PLAYAS follows best friends Ahmed (Kris Siddiqi) and Leon (Nigel Downer) as they spend their days hustling in the casting room, navigating the dating world and deflecting the occasional “soft racism” – all while dealing with their own identity crises. But when their costumes come off their world is everything nerdy: comics, movies, video games and more! Some may say it’s a show about diversity, but really it’s a show about reality.
