About Me

I’ve been working in television since 1999 and did perform my first multi-camera directing in 2000. I have shot a lot of very different multi-camera productions – sports, music, theatre, entertainment, game shows, talk shows, etc.

I want to be very professional at what I do, I remain patient in stressful situations, I have good spatial awareness, I am thorough in my preparations, I have good people skills, and can motivate the team with my enthusiasm.

  • Sports

    Sports broadcasts transport fans into the heart of the action, providing a dynamic and immersive experience that transcends physical boundaries. Through the lens of skilled camera work, viewers are able to witness the thrill of competition, the strategy of play, and the emotions of athletes in real time. I like sports productions for the drama captured, which paints a vivid canvas of human emotion, rivalry, and triumph.

  • Live Music

    Live music broadcasts bring the magic of musical performance directly into the homes and hearts of audience. Through these broadcasts, fans can experience the raw energy, emotion, and skill of musicians as they create music in real time. Whether it's a solo artist providing an intimate moment or a large-scale concert with a sea of roaring fans, live music broadcasts make it accessible to those who can't be physically present.

  • Events and Ceremonies

    Events and ceremonies give us a reasons to celebrate, and connect. Events are there to showcase achievements, share ideas, while ceremonies celebrate significant moments with ritual and tradition. I like to work on ceremonies, beacause the production team’s extensive planning ensures that every important detail is highlighted and presented with massive care.

  • Single-camera shows

    Single-camera broadcast productions offer a focused approach to storytelling and visual communication. By employing just one camera, these productions allow for a more cinematic and deliberate style, emphasizing precise framing, composition, and pacing. I love single-camera productions because they provide a more intimate and immersive experience, often allowing for greater flexibility in capturing emotions and nuances.
