I was Co-Director / Director of Photography for the music video “Adorable” by Trouble Andrew. I shot this on a 5D with a 45mm tilt/shift, 24-70L and a 70-200L.

What started as a small idea over a conversation last July with graffiti artist and exhibition curator Binho Ribeiro has turned into a Documentary Short being sent to film festivals all over the world.

Each shoot came about rather randomly and originally had no connection to one another. I only decided to put them all together when I returned home to...

Following the success of the Claudio Ethos film, longtime São Paulo artist Rui Amaral approached me about creating a video for his Bienal street art exposition. I had met Rui after hearing about his work from Melton Magidson. They originally crossed paths through Keith Haring. Keith had been a lifelong friend of Rui and there is a resemblance in their artwork....

At the time that I’m writing this review, the Claudio Ethos time-lapse at Casa Das Caldeiras has already been online for a full year. It is amazing to think how much has happened since this first graffiti influenced project. Right before I came into contact with Ethos, I had been seriously considering returning home to New York to lick the wounds of a...
