I'm primarily here for testing, experimentation and personal projects. I work full time as a director, photographer and DP in OKC and the surrounding areas. I'd love to find the right projects and people to work with, but I will tend to reach out to anyone who I think is the right fit. Occasionally I'm open to small paid shoots for anyone else who wants to pay me to create something for their portfolio. Thanks for looking.
