SELECTED PROJECTS
Most of my projects have been with nonprofit, arts, music, cause-driven, and violence-prevention organizations. I hope my work creates a positive impact by inspiring audiences to think and take action.
IMMERSIVE, CINEMATIC, GROUNDED.
I specialize in documentary-style motion photography that’s immersive, cinematic, and grounded. My work focuses on capturing genuine emotions and real environments to create deeper empathy, strengthen audience connection, and elevate the story.
"Ian is a hard working, talented camera operator who captured the emotion and unfiltered moments that helped make our film a success."
