DP | Gaffer
A corporate interview under way on a client's floor: a camera on a tripod, a large soft light on the subject seated by the windows.

Me as your DP or gaffer, my 1-ton grip and lighting van that comes with every booking, and optional camera package all in one bundle.

Gaffer + van $1,750 /day
DP + gaffer $3,500 /day
Same person every booking, no crew swaps
Vendor paperwork W-9 & onboarding same day

I'm an owner operator. When you book a gaffer day or a camera day, I'm the one who shows up: same face in front of your stakeholders, same van, same standards, every time.

When I'm on camera, I can bring a dedicated gaffer for lighting. Additional crew and equipment are available, quoted per job. A sound mixer and a grip is bundled as a Full Crew Day at $5,000, four crew on one invoice.
