Feature-Length Documentary and Film DP
Many of the same skills Robert brings to his other work, he brings to his work as a film DP. Those skills include composition and framing, the steadiest hand-held available without using a Steadicam, the ability to paint the frame with lighting, and the kind of demeanor you want on the set or on location.
“Robert, when I was working in the biz, some of my fondest memories are from working with you. It was everything from working with turkeys, and loading mags in a hop room in a brewery. Fun times.”
Blake Rizk, Retired
