With over 17 years of experience and an unwavering passion for VFX production I have a comprehensive knowledge of lighting setup and cinematography, alongside the technical realm of rendering and shading. Over the years working in VFX I have established solid leadership and communication skills working with VFX / CGI supervisors, Technical Directors and Compositing. I strive to be part of an efficient and pleasant working environment and to produce the best looking images out of any given framework.
