Hello there! I am a director and cinematographer based between Shanghai and London who shoots for clients locally and internationally. The range of work includes commercials, corporate videos, documentaries, event recaps, web ads, narrative shorts, music videos, and broadcast pieces. I can assemble a professional crew from all departments for bigger shoots, and handle “one-man-army” assignments with high-quality results. Through his multi-cultural experience of living in East Asia since 2012 in Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai, I mastered the capability to deal with projects on an international level and manage many stakeholders. My long-term goal as a filmmaker and video professional is to connect citizens from the East and West, examine their triumphs, tell meaningful stories, and create visuals that prevail over cultural divides.
