2024: Growth

Thinking of a theme for this year, I keep coming back to one word: growth. Throughout the year, growth, both personally and professionally, has been consistently in the back of my mind.

However, growth is very rarely linear. There are highs and lows, successes and failures. Working in this industry, it’s incredibly easy to look at others’ work and feel as though your own is subpar, but in truth, that comparison is holding you back. You have a particular set of skills (+1 for the reference) that others don’t, and we all have room to grow in the areas in which we want to improve. It takes personal growth to overcome this.

If you’re still reading this, thank you. If you’ve ever given me an opportunity or a job, thank you. Without the love and support of my friends, colleagues, and family, I 100% would not be where I am today. If you’re struggling with comparing your own work to others’ and that comparison is impacting you negatively, my DMs are always open. Love you all.
The gear that comes with me on almost every shoot 🙌🏻 There are definitely other options out there, this is just what works best for me.

Gear list:
1535 air case
FX6
16-35 GM f/2.8 ii
top plate, V-mount plate, mini articulating arm
Cine 5
150Wh V-mount battery
MKE600
