Director of Photography – Southern California

The Strategy Behind The Gear

In order to provide his clients with the best production values possible, Dan owns a full selection of production equipment geared toward fast and efficient corporate, documentary and entertainment production. With a full complement of four professional Sony Digital Cinema cameras, an impressive selection of lenses, a fully featured, yet compact location sound package, client production monitors, teleprompters, gimbal, motion control, camera support gear, grip and lighting, Dan’s gear selection can accommodate almost any small to mid-level production. For larger productions, he has access to 3 and 5 ton grip and lighting trucks as well as additional camera packages, as needed.

Conversely, when air travel is part of your production, Dan’s extensive experience shooting all around the world has refined gear choices to be able to assemble small, travel friendly gear packages that will speed up production and reduce overweight baggage and additional bag charges by maximizing production value with smaller, lighter yet professional gear.
