Introduction

I am a Bay Area filmmaker and photographer with a proven track record of creating bright and vivid images that evoke joy. With influences as diverse as Errol Morris and John Baldessari, new combinations are created from fast-paced and overdramatized storytelling. My creativity and curiosity pushes myself to learn new forms of filmmaking whether that is animation, underwater photography, and audio design, however, my passion is for cinematography. With award-winning short films and documentaries, I provide an experienced eye for cinema that is refreshing and captivating using bright visuals and saturated colors to convey a story of community and hope.

Not only was Theo incredibly professional and offered great direction in how to pose, they also offered immense support for my lack of body confidence and still made me feel fierce. I will definitely be working with them again (hopefully soon)!

I've had many photoshoot with TatumtheDirector, and she is at communication. such as telling me what poses to make, where to place my hands and always makes sure we're on the same page with what we want out the photos. She will also go to many extremes to get the perfect shot. When we went to have a photoshoot in the mountains she often got on rocks that didn't look too sturdy for the sake of a good angle. However what really I'm pressed me was how prepared she always was. She would bring a big camera bag along with additional small bags with different types of equipment. I remember asking her what was in those bags one day, and she showed me various camera batteries fully charged, various lenses, battery operated lights, and even sometimes she'd go out of her way to buy props "just in case" Overall you can see how passionate she is about working behind a camera, and making sure every shot is the best it could be. I definitely would recommend to anyone who hasn't had a photoshoot or is camera shy because she will most certainly make you feel at home.
